When I bought my Rami I had to really smash down on the mag release with both thumbs to get it to release. As I ran rounds through it that loosened up on its own, to a point. Because I mostly shoot left handed, I am trying to release the magazine with my trigger finger and frequently have to flip the gun to the other hand so I can use my thumb. While I was at the LGS I asked the gunsmith to loosen that mag release up a bit and it made a huge difference! I should have had him adjust it right away! I just bought a Ruger LCP-Custom and I'm going to have him adjust that mag release asap. What a difference!
