Just as not all cars are designed for the Indy 500, not all handguns are designed for combat. A pen-gun will kill, but I would not carry one if my life might depend on it.
If one must "invent" techniques or tactics to make-up for a weapons lack of design, you have a pen-gun.

Well, I can use any gun I want as long as it is a Glock 21 or 22.
I think the technique goes back to the days of generation 1 non-drop free mags... uh, not dropping free.
I had to learn the technique when I got here 4 years ago... 10 years of just hitting the mag release went right out the window. Now I'm re-programed. I pass my off hand along the mag well as I am reaching for my fresh one second habit now.
I've had to strip the mag in the past, but only a couple times. Each time it was after a good 6-8 hours at the range and the mags had been dropped, kicked, stepped on, etc. all day.
