Even if not, still a great draw, especially from a concealment rig.
Likely a software issue. I was having the same issue with 17 mags. After years with shorter USPC and P229 mags I found I was gripping the 17 mags low, giving me less control resulting in slower and less consistent reloads. Ensuring I'm gripping the whole mag with my index finger tip to the top round took care of the issue.

Okay, so I probably screwed the setup on this. All of the uprights for the range's target stands were locked up, and we only had two sets, so I had to improvise. As a result I didn't get the required 18" between targets; it's close if you measure C-zone to C-zone. I was also starting with feet squared to the center target, but upper body turned toward the left. I guess from reading through the thread that that's a no-no.
For scheduling the reload, we tried with mags loaded both 9-1 and 8-2. Both myself and my cameraman found the 8-2 to be faster and flow smoother for whatever reason, even though the 9-1 should be faster by allowing you to game the drill with a sloppy support hand grip after the reload.
My three-in-a-row sub-5 runs. First run I had a bit of a hiccup in my cadence on T4. Second run saw a slow mag insertion; video shows a near-miss at the mag well. Third was smoothest but also the slowest overall (of those three, anyway).

One of the biggest and most common mistakes gun owners make is assuming that they are done learning how to shoot.
I will try 8-2 this weekend. From concealment and centered. I chose 2-8 to reduce my odds of being surprised by my own planned reloads.

From a gaming perspective, why not load 9 rounds, shoot 8 and do a slide forward reload as you transition to the last target? That avoids a slide lock reload, and allows you to transition during the reload.
