You don't drop a partially loaded mag and walk away from it, when you're fighting/shooting, you fire to slide lock then reload, if the action stops and it's safe you reload with a full mag and retain the partially loaded mag.
Let me rephrase my writing. I did not mean to insinuate that the removed magazine be left behind. My point as you stated is shoot to slide lock.

That's what training and practice is all about.
Absolutely correct and have seen experienced shooters at the Master and Grandmaster level screw up a re-load. My point being it can happen to anyone any time regardless of the amount of practice and training one does

This has been an interesting discussion.
I’m not a LEO. My training was military.
I was trained to reload at the first opportunity.
I carry a J-frame either in my pocket or IWB and 2-4 speed strips.
I’ve felt a need to carry more than 15-25 rounds.
Now I'll ask when would you re-load, say after 2 rounds, 3 rounds? Now you would have loose rounds not in speed strips. Just curious
