Mag retention is something that will vary depending on what your "mission" is. For the non-military person (outside of some zombie horde situation) retaining an empty magazine serves no purpose other than to slow your reload speed. Even .mil members can find themselves in situations where having a fresh mag in the gun outweighs retaining an empty mag.
