I don't know the technical terms...
So here's the question. Some little pistols, mostly old Soviet Bloc weapons and the like, have a mag catch on the bottom of the grip, instead of a quick-release button next to the trigger guard. As speed goes, the latter is probably better. (One hand garbs the new mag while the other drops the old one). But say the pistol you have, and like to shoot, has the "European" style release? Has anybody taken the time to drill like crazy with both styles and then compare their speed etc? What kind of problems might one encounter with re-deployment?
The reason I ask is because I like several small pistols for various reasons, all of which have "European" mag catches, and my brother thinks that it's a deal breaker. So really I just want ammunition for a gun debate with him
