CZ P-10C - Mag Release Re-Profile Project

Everyone who knows me knows how picky I am about little details.  One of the minor annoyances I have is with the mag release button on my P-10C.  I can feel the top edge of the button dig into my support hand palm.  Early in testing, I experimented with a lighter mag catch spring.  During a class, I accidentally pressed the button with my support hand palm during a string a fire.  Twice.  After putting the factory spring back in, it hasn't happened again, but it's a nagging possibility.  I also didn't like how the abrupt 90 degree angle didn't blend with the lines of the grip.  Unable to leave perfectly good things alone, I fired up Photoshop and came up with this.  I emailed JagerWerks, and they agreed to re-finish it in black nitride when I send it in with my second P-10C slide.

I pulled the release from my FDE and took some measurements.  I figured I could do a 45 degree chamfer, removing only the top full row of checkering.  I clamped the part into the vise in my vertical mill.  I made shallow, climbing passes from the checkering slide until I was happy with the depth, then did the other side.  Here's what I ended up with.

I love the new profile.  It doesn't dig into my palm anymore.  Even when I mash my palm into it, it won't activate.  It feels no different to press than my factory release, even with a full mag on a closed slide.  Now I just have to keep it from rusting until I get my first slide back from JagerWerks.
