I hear people talk of how there are features in some pistols that support the user’s ability to strip a mag in the case of a malfunction. This usually involves some sort of a cut out at the bottom of the mag well so that the user can grab the mag and forcefully pull it out.
When Glock released their Gen5 models a number of years ago, one of the popular criticisms was that the cuts for stripping a mag were not on the sides of the grip, but on the front, which results in a user having to more delicately pinch and pull the mag.
Regardless, I am curious if anyone on here has ever encountered a situation in which they have had to strip a mag and found such cuts to be beneficial. I’ve been shooting pistols for decades, in the military, in competition, and recreationally. While I’ve encountered malfunctions of various sorts, none have required me to forcefully strip a magazine.
How about you? Have you encountered scenarios in which you had to forcefully strip a mag? If so, please share. Thanks!
