For the polarity, yup, cant argue with that :)

For the reload.. well the akmagnus yields twice the mag at only 50% more reload time, thus a better reloadtime to magsize ratio (effectivly you spent more time firing, so you deal more damage over time).

Why go for the Akmagnus at all? All the praising aside: Keep in mind that it looses a bunch of accuracy, making it ill suited for long ranges if fired at higher speed. Take an Aklex, if you want that.
 * The +5% crit chance make the Akmagnus the only pistol effecivly playable on crit, as the pistol crit mods are really bad, compared to the rifle crit mods. (for pistols with 20% crit it doesnt matter wether you go for a crit build or a damage build)
 * The +5% higher status allows for nice status builds, if coupled with the event mods and multishot, getting pretty close to the queen of crowdcontrolers - the Marelok. Even without the eventmods, it still dishes out lots of procs, dont underestimate howmuch that 25% (=25/20) higher basestatuschance means for procs actually occuring.
 * Lastly the higher firerate allows for more DPS. However it gets quite hard to get close to that rate with just clicking ;)
