I've read more than a few comments by folks who've had problems with accidentally dropping the magazine of their P3AT due to holster design, gripping of the gun, etc. The fix for this is painfully simple and works with all holsters and doesn't matter how you grip the gun.
I took my trusty Dremel tool and buffed the plastic magazine release until it was flush with the frame of the pistol. I carry the 380 concealed and don't carry an extra mag so fast reloads aren't an issue. I did install the 1 round mag option and figure that if 8 rounds won't do it, I'm probably toast anyway. The mag is very easy to release--you just have to use the tip of your finger (nail) to do it. I've tried to man-handle the pistol in every way possible and I can not hit the mag release without making a conscious effort to do it. Give it a try, it'll take about 30 seconds to do it!
