This. I lost many seconds in an IDPA match this past weekend when I did not smack the magazine into the gun hard. I had
pushed it in (what I thought was) hard, but in fact it hadn't gone fully into locked position. The mag catch spring tension held the mag so that it looked like it was seated, but it actually wasn't in far enough for the slide to pick up a round.
Lesson learned (I hope.)
