The fact that it's on the left side of the slide only is a knock against it ergonomically, yeah. That said, I find that I can *just* get it with my strong hand thumb (right handed), and I like the fact that it can be used as a pseudo-gadget, at least by right-handed shooters.
Agreed, but we're in the minority, at least in the USA.Which is wrong, as the paddle magazine release is superior.
