S&W M & P Shield Safety Message

I recently acquired a DeSantis belt holster for my Shield. As you can see from the attached photo it is possible to trigger the magazine release with a left hand holster. The first time I drew and the mag started to drop I thought I had messed up when I seated the magazine but the holster has a projection that hits the release. My other holster from Diamond custom does not. See photo 2.

Probably can trim it either way as Flashover suggested.
Unless leather is mandatory for your tastes, get a Bladetech kydex IWB holster and don't look back.
I'm not a Kydex fan, although I acknowledge they have advantages. Just not against your body, they make you sweat a lot.
