Regardless of whether it’s an issue, I do not think it’s objective to compare using one’s trigger finger to activate the magazine release on an AR15 to a paddle release on a pistol. My (limited) understanding of the BAD lever is that it’s still actuated in front of the trigger with a straight finger, so I wouldn’t compare its activation to a paddle mag release either (actuated behind the trigger with a hooked finger).

Because the mag release on the AR is ahead of the trigger guard and trigger. So the trigger finger is moving forward and thus in the opposite direction of the movement required to press the trigger.
On the HK, the trigger finger is moving backward, in the direction of the trigger and in the direction required to make the trigger work. The NDs that have happened while using the trigger finger to release the mag have been due, to the best of my understanding, with the trigger finger coming across and touching the trigger. A lot of people manage to do just fine with that movement, but personally I don't like moving my trigger finger that close to the trigger in an often tense situation (competition or fight). For me, the thumb works well or the middle finger.

Don’t blame me. I didn’t vote for that dumb bastard.
Handled a button VP 9 this afternoon, loved the button mag release!
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
