Personally I've been using the lock with my thumb and letting the finger choil hit my index finger. Then finish closing. That said I have to avoid the choiless designs as a result. Did play around with epoxying a tab or button and it worked pretty well for several months before it finally came off, although no sign the modification was ever done.. Want to try with better surface prep and/or welding, but that would of course be permanent.

I made a thread on how I use the lock one-handed as a leftie here:

I use both above described ways to unlock the standard with my dominant left hand. I find the fall onto index finger method the most reliable but it’s all just much less satisfying than when I use my right hand to close it in the standard way. So much so that I’ve been considering the LH version.

As the pm2 platform is a bit large for my standard uses, what I’m really in the market for is a smaller LH comp lock model. Sage 5 LW would be my preference but would be on board for a para3 as that would have more of a customer base I imagine.
