    .... At any rate, it is mechanically more efficient.....
    Interesting. I'd love to hear his reasons for believing that.

    Never could get through any of his videos/shows.....

    I was gonna guess Pincus or Yeager. I wouldn't be surprised to hear one of them endorse pulling the trigger with your support hand thumb.

    Rounds forward for me.

    We had several instances, when a shooter with rounds facing backwards was able to push the frist round some millimeters out of the magazine, when he hit the upper part/edge of the pouch while drawing the magazine out of it. Then he could not load the magazine in the pistol of course, because the frist round sticked out to much. Therefore we teach rounds facing forward, because now this failure is not possible anymore.

    Pistol mags: bullets forward. Rifle mags: bullets to the rear. Am I weird?

    Ever get confused between the two? Serious question. I don't shoot enough rifle to have thought about this. I keep the latter forward.

    I dont think so. That is how I run them. For me it is because I use a different grip for a rifle mag than I do a pistol mag.

    As to the earlier question as to who. Those who answered RJP are correct. That is who I was referring to.

    Luckily for Pincus he doesn't believe in shot timers, either. A lot of USPSA guys like Stoeger run bullets out.

    From my Motorola StarTAC.

    That is a bit misleading since he runs his mags 90 degrees to the belt not in parallel. I wouldn't run that way because I cant conceal them, but if I did bullets out would be the correct orientation.

    If I am not mistaken bullets out, with the mag rotated 90 degrees to what we call normal, still uses the same grip as bullets forward.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.
