I typed an earlier reply but got myself crosswired. I have a Sprinfield Champion .45. I usually use the middle finger of my left hand to hit the mag release, and I don't have any real problem with that. In fact in works better for me than using the ambixetrous safety on my Beretta 96.
The slide release on the Champion is another story. It is pretty stiff. I'd like to get an oversize slide release like I have on another .45, but IDPA says 'no'.

Southpaws
I'm a southpaw, and shoot a Springfield Champion 1911 type. I get the mag release with my strong side thumb. It may mean a little more movement of the gun for me, but it doesn't seem to be that much of a problem. I have more problem with the slide release 'cause it's pretty stiff, and IPDA won't allow an oversize one. I've got an over size on another 1911 I have and it's a lot more usable.
I do the same with the mag releases on my Beretta 96 and Glock 27.
