[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 727489, member: 711"] George Carlin used to say that when drunk, one's standards change. Example: <puking voice> "I don't care about my shooes . . ." Similarly, in an extended social encounter, one will worry later (hopefully) about where the empty mag went when you dropped it and put in a full one. The down side of a "drop free" mag is that if one accidentally hits the release, mag and remaining bullets are on the ground. This caused the Soviets so much trouble with their Tokarevs that the requirements for a replacement (The new pistol they selected was Makarov's design) has the release in the heel and you have to extract the empty mag manually. With practice one can perform this operation about as fast as with a conventional mag release. Check the Walther P-38 design. :musketeers: This design difference has been controversial for decades . . . CB [/QUOTE]
