I learned speed reloads on my first handgun a HK USP, and I have short thumbs so the HK style mag release (though I no longer own a firearm with it...) is easier for me because I manipulate it with my trigger finger. This gave me the ability to drop the magazine one handed with out altering my firing grip, using my reaction (off) hand to replace a new magazine and slingshot the slide forward.

I do LIKE that style of release.. but I no longer own any gun with it, I just adapted to the US style.
