Ambidextrous magizine release and folding chair "WARNING".

[K191145]

If your handgun has an ambidextrous magizine release like my G-21SF does, and your belt holster does not cover the release, then be careful when sitting in a folding chair. Luckily I was at a place where they didn't care and most knew I carried. The tube leg of the chair pushed the release and dumped my magizine on the floor, it was funny where I was but may be embarrassing somewhere else.

It has happened to me!!!

Luckily it was in a church pew, and my wife saw it when I got up. I now pay special attention to check it long about the time I'm getting ready to get up.

I never gave it a thought before, I'm always extra careful of the trigger when holstering, being a Glock. Dumping your mag is not much of a safety issue but if you didn't notice it, like the mag landed on grass or pew padding, then you've lost your mag.

I saw on another forum where I guy was walking through a gas station and bumped into a shelf and releasing his magazine. He got a few stares from people in the store.

Wow that's tough to do, impressive. I have yet to do that with my carry glock, though I did accomplish it multiple times with my P7PSP.

Thanks. One thing though, suddenly loosing 13 rounds of ,45ACP is a noticable weight difference, and makes a pretty big clack when it hits the floor.

my 21sf takes a lot of pressure to release a loaded mag and i never really thought of it being pushed unintentionally. thanks for the heads up. droppin a mag would suck.

I carry a walther PPS so I fear no folding chairs
