As a right-handed shooter using your trigger finger to press the magazine release button is not such an alien concept nor in practice. We all do it with an AR. It's true that some of these extended magazine releases protrude too far out and exposes the shooter to inadvertent mag releases. You have to find the right fit and test it out. Sometimes it needs the mag release to be filed down for both size and smooth edges.

Personally, I prefer and use extended ambidextrous controls where I can. Even with the Walther PPQ I would definitely get the M1 version with the extended ambidextrous magazine release over the M2 version with a traditional magazine release on one side (although it can be switched). The M2 is mostly to cater to the big U.S. LE market where departments don't want to go through "retraining".
