In that situation, your support hand should be right at the gun with BOTH magazines. Insert one and solve the problem. Your weapon is not a door stop!

In addition, a partial/tactical/topping off reload is done from behind cover with no action in progress. Did your need to shoot beam in?

It's your choice, but the fear of magazine safeties is overblown. I'm sorry about the RCMP Constable, but left handed shooters trapped in the drivers seat are way behind the 8 ball regardless of weapon condition. He could have tapped the magazine (by hand or on an object) to restore function had he had time (and assuming the magazine didn't release after he was shot).
