Ok, you're trying to fix something that IS NOT A PROBLEM! Stop messing with the gun and just shoot it. Most guns are more difficult to release a full mag than they are with an empty one. It doesn't matter though because there is NO REASON to drop a full mag 95% of the time.

As things wear in more & your mag springs relax slightly, it will become easier. Don't touch anything else. I can't imagine doing something like "polishing" the mag release/catch on a gun that I just bought. I really hope that does not prove to be a mistake in the future.
