Now you tell me.

Fair point! I was going off the assumption you wouldn't ever need that mag, which is how we kind of got in this whole sink whole. I will leave my statement for posterity, but do concede the point. ...

I agree deciding when the 'right time' to top off your magazine is not magic and someone could make a poor choice on when to do it (regardless of what technique they plan to use to top off).

Really wish I hadn't brought Tom Givens into this. Please forgive me Tom!

Thank you for at least understanding that we are talking about different ways to top off the gun in a "want to load...

DB - instead of re-editing my post again, I would like to point out that I have never, ever, said that. I've been asking the best way to do just that this entire thread, and the other one.

You...

DB: Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I really appreciate. I will read it a couple of times and ponder it.

I am definitely at "the beginner level", you are correct there. I was in the...

DB - I don't think I ever brought the gaming stuff into this thread. Other folks brought that info in, and if I misunderstood any of it I apologized.

I tried to keep the discussion on real world...

Thank you for explaining that. I hope we can all agree that the RWR will get you killed in the streets, and the Tac load is better than that.

Your experience performing the Tac load incorrectly...

Thank you.

Sorry about that. What is a Reload with (Magazine) Retention then?

I think your definition of "tac reload" is the opposite of what the thread defines it as (see first post). But that is very interesting about 'training scars' if you will.

Regarding anyone ever...

Thank you for sharing the link. This is an example of an extreme situation, and the officer fired 33 times. If someone carries a glock 17 that equals the magazine in his gun, and one reload. He'd...

That makes perfect sense for your situation. What would you advise a new LEO or CCW? (Could be two different answers)

Fair point on the picture - I couldn't tell that was a slide lock and shouldn't have mentioned it.

The "Do it correctly" is the crux of it. What is the correct way?



Well, I thought the...

I wandered over to https://pistol-training.com/ when I got home tonight to see what Todd had to say on the topic. The last article posted is germane to this discussion. While he doesn't call out...

That sounds outstanding. Thank you for sharing. I admire your professionalism - I really mean that.

If I had your job I hope I would do the same. As a civilian - again, playing the odds - I...

Maybe everyone should be carrying 4 magazines just in case?

Yes, theoretically the rounds from the partially spent magazine could be needed again, but given DB's experience (and your experience)...

Thank you for sharing your experiences on tac reloads. If I am reading you correctly a lot of people have been taught how to do it successfully, but as far as you know no one has needed to do it.

With free shipping. Nice.

You are an accomplished shooter who has mastered the finer points of the craft, so you have options.

Picture a dozen random folks that don't know how to operate a gun, who don't know when they...

I'm sure you do, but I've seen a couple more "it is better to have a full gun" type comments, so I'm not sure about everyone else. And the other comments have completely ignored the overarching...

Still getting the sense that people are not understanding what you proposed Octogon.

Maybe the title of the thread is causing it? Can mods change thread titles?

Also, maybe they could put your...

In the other thread it was assumed several times. In this thread there have been several comments about "it is better to have the gun topped off".

From Angus: Had the BadGuy’s car come back...

Octagon never said don't top off the gun, as has been assumed by most of the commentators unfortunately. The question is: do you retain the empty after the top off. Do you teach multiple ways to...

I went through this same exercise a few years ago and wound up with a Weihrauch HW30, which is essentially a B7.
