I was re-reading this thread I was thinking....

Do you strip your mag when re-loading? I'm talking about shooting a pistol to slide lock, not a tactical/top-off re-load.
I notice many people trust their mag to drop free. Has anyone ever went back to re-load and the empty mag is still in the gun?
Before the
begins:
I'm a proponent of stripping the mag. Although allowing it to drop free is much faster, I'm a fan of surety over speed.
Shoot to slide lock (oh shit)
- Press mag release and release grip with support hand.
- Support hand passes mag well, grab and strip the magazine (if it falls free and is already gone then that is OK continue with the motion)
- Retrieve fresh fresh mag, index finger along front of mag and bring directly to mag well
- Vigorously seat magazine into mag well
- Reach over top and release slide (do not ride forward)
- Continue shooting bad guy as needed
