First video I’ve seen on YouTube of a customer shooting these mags. Same guy who posted the videos a few posts up:
The mags not dropping free in the video is 100% user error. When performing a reload, drop the magazine first while the gun is oriented vertically and then bring the gun back into your “workspace” to perform the reload. Factory Glock mags will hang up for me if I don’t drop them first before bringing the gun back in to perform a reload. I tried to post that on his YouTube comments but he doesn’t allow comments on his videos.
Shoot more, post less...
I'm not sure I'd say the magazine hanging in the grip is 100% user error, especially with a metal magazine. All Glock shooters have learned the "shake to release" motion with Glock factory mags, or have learned how to snap the grip hard outboard to help the mag slide free. Having a magazine stay in the well despite a depressed release and not move without being manually ripped free is something completely different, IMHO.
In my experience, Glock mags literally “drop” when you hit the mag release. What I mean is that HK mags, for example, seem to actually shoot out of the frame with additional force when you hit the mag release. With Glocks, there’s no extra force so if you have the magazine well parallel to the ground instead of perpendicular, the magazine release is no longer locking the mag in, but there is no reason for the mag to exit the well. The mags need gravity to actually pull them out of the mag well and the shooter in the video was negating gravity by not having the mag well perpendicular to the ground when he hit the mag release.

Dan, thats not how the mags eject in my Gen 5 19? Held upside down, the mag pops up slightly when the release is hit.
So i think yes, there is pressure on the magazine.
Ok so maybe not like candy bars out of a drive in movie machine a la HK but still, my Glock mags do ‘pop’ a bit.

An empty mag with the slide locked back?
Mine hang up quite easily, especially compared to my HK P2000 that would shoot the magazine out with force.
Deadly force.
I've also noted that Glock 17 mags seem to eject more cleanly in my 19M than Glock 19 mags. Maybe that extra hair's worth of weight pushes it over some ambiguous threshold to eject reliably.
