My question is whether or not this is a positive, with relation to reloading?

IMHO, a magazine release should retain the mag 100% of the time you want to retain the mag, and release it smoothly, but only when you have positively moved to drop the mag.
If you are indicating that it is not reliably retained and you can inadvertently release the mag, then you have an issue with either the mags, or the mag release or its spring. I would not be comfortable even using those mags for training, much less concealed carry.
There are a bunch of movements that could apparently cause the mag to drop on its own, and that is not functioning as the designer intended, nor is it conducive to a long life.
I would consider the pistol to be unsafe until I either eliminated the mag release or the mags as the problem, and remedied it before selling the weapon to someone else.
