It's easier to dump the mag if you use both your (if you're right handed) right index finger on the right side of the release...
In IPSC and IDPA, a one-hand fast release is almost mandatory. Breaking grip and woggling your grip hand about to reach the controls is awkward and very time consuming.
As a contrast, with a Browning Hi Power or 1911 or Sig or Beretta, your thumb moves a little and pushes a button, and the mag pops out into your waiting paw or onto the ground. You do not need to break grip.
With a Hi Power my mag change is way under a second, with the SW99 it is about two, and then I need to reseat my grip to retarget.
This is OK for personal defence- I mean, how often will you need more than 10 rounds or need to shoot 20 rounds in 15 seconds?
I liked the feel and size and weight of the 99, I just can't use it.

I gave you a more efficient way. I didn't say it was better than a different weapon choice. I just telling you what I found out from using the weapon.
