This is referring to a defensive carry pistol only. I know that competitors prefer the quick 'tactical reloads' for time savings, and I guess pistols that are designated for other specific rolls than defensive carry might require one or the other, say a hunting pistol might be better to keep its magazine in place. So maybe there are different needs for different rolls.
But for carry:
When you purposefully press the mag release, do you prefer that the magazine drop free?
-or-
Would you prefer that the pistol keep the magazine from falling free so that you can remove it manually?
I've read some guys state that they would prefer that the magazine be held in place by the pistol. In the event of inadvertently pressing the release by mistake, whether the gun is holstered or during live fire, they want the magazine to remain semi-seated, maybe so that they always know where it is. What about you?
