An empty gun is just a poorly designed impact weapon.
But not all reloads are created equally.
Two reloads which are paramount with a defensive handgun are the emergency reload and tactical reload.
Knowing the when and how to employ these could make or break you when the chips are down.
This reload will need to be performed quickly and efficiently.
The full magazine will be retrieved as you simultaneously are releasing the empty one from the pistol.
Emergency reloads need to be automatic, with you reloading nearly without thought.
How do you achieve that?
Tactical Reloads
The tactical (or tac) reload is often overlooked.
Tac reloads are always done when there is a lull in the gunfight and while using cover.
They both have a place in your arsenal, and knowing when to use them is whats important.
