Shooting my full-size 1911 I can hit the mag release with only the slightest rotation of my right hand. I've been doing so for several years. I'm working on my mechanics with my new Staccato C and with the shorter grip rotating my hand finds the heel of my palm sliding off the bottom of the grip. I might try grip tape but I don't think that will offer much improvement. After some experimentation it looks like a punch with my left thumb prior to going for a new mag is the way to go. I won't get the mag as fast but won't have to break my grip at all so might be a wash as far as total cycle time. Any thoughts on this? Anyone else using this technique. FWIW my hand is big enough to drop the slide on a full-size 1911 with just barely breaking my grip - size L glove so not huge.
