Fundamentals of Defensive Shooting

wouldent be better to shoot up all the rounds in the mag so the slide locks back than reload that seems faster to me so u dont have to worry about wasting rounds or fumbaling whith a half empty mag ???? thats just my oppinion ...

On the street, you only shot what is necessary and can't just empty a mag so you don't have to reload.

i guess ..it depends on how u shoot

Why do you rack the slide when there's a round in the chamber? That seems like an extremely unnecessary step.

You're assuming there's a round in the chamber you don't "know" there is unless you rack the slide. Slide stops wear out and sometimes your thumb can hold the slide stop lever down so the pistol goes into battery with an empty chamber. When your life depends on it you have to be 100% sure that there is a round in the chamber.

Because you don't really know for sure that there is a round in the chamber. It is possible that the slide closed on an empty chamber. We recommend racking the slide at all time which eliminates the need to take time to decide whether the slide needs to be racked or not

Excellent advice about using all speed reloads. Common sense is such a relief.

great video, i would only use a tactical reload when behind good cover and are expecting a long fight, the worst thing in the world would be having to seach for a half full mag on the ground in the middel of a fight, but only use behind cover because you dont want to be exposed and taking you sweet time to reload

You would change partially charged mags if there is a significant lull in the gunfight and you don't have enough bullets to continue and after the gunfight is over to get ready for the next gunfight. You never really know when a gunfight is over or the next one will start--the bad guy's buddy could come back to seek revenge

things that makes it go bang lol
