In any case I think the side mount magazine release is an issue that has to be addressed whenever buying a wallet holster for the Beretta. Some extra "breathing space" is needed around the release. On my wallet, he simply punched a hole where the magazine release was located. He did not recall any of the holsters that were out there however.
