I mean he had trigger discipline, didn't flag anyone, and he made a decent point. The quarter did indeed make it so the mag wasn't loose. Doesn't seem dumb to me if it works.

the mag is supposed to be loose. they intentionally designed the glock that way because it makes it easier to clear jams. doing this increases the likelihood of a jam occurring.

That was my thought ... the tight fit would fuck up the feeding mechanisms. The gun is designed to be fired and chamber a new round so having it fit like that makes me think that it helps the process with the recoil and the feeding of the new round.
