On the magazine finger rest

I think someone here said the finger rest in the P64 mag likes to imprint. If I bend over, that happens to me; could I be doing something wrong?
The proposed workaround was to trim/round the finger release off. Since I do not want to destroy original parts, is there another way?

With enough work and mechanical skill, you could make a replacement.
You might be able to buy just the base somewhere and reshape it to your preference.

Move the weapon around your waste until it's comfortable. The best spot is about 5 o'clock on the right side of your body. That way when you bend, it pushes outwards instead of inwards. Other than having a holster custom made that's about the best you can do. The Uncle Mikes nylon holster has a flap that sticks straight upward and shields your body from the guns frame.

I wear it on the 8 o'clock position. My main concern is not fit: short of it weighting my pants down (I really need a better belt), sometimes I do forget it is there. What concerns me is when I bend over: it just feels that it imprints.

Are we talking IWB or OWB holster?

IWB; they do not allow OWB here.

You can't wear an OWB and cover it with a shirt, sweater or hoodie???
I use a IWB Remora @ the 5 o'clock postion and cant it forward.
It's all about the clothing you wear to cover it, too tight fitting or too short and you are going to have problems.

I do agree that what you wear makes a lot of difference. I am still trying to figure out what is the best without being too obvious: I am not ready to join the Hawaiian shirt club just yet.

I wore Hawaiian shirts before I got my CC. Always liked 'em.

I thought about rounding off the finger rest on one of my extra mags but the more I practiced drawing the more I realized it helps me grip the gun better on the way out of the holster.
