Poll: Tactical reload drills - Much benefit?

[bbbass]

Great tips guys! Thanx!!!

I've practiced retention of mags both in back pocket, front pocket, mag carrier, but didn't know what a "dump bag" was. Still don't but I guess I can imagine or look it up... Is it a military thing? Cuz I can't imagine wearing a "dump bag" in EDC.

The only "Dump Bag " I used in the Army was :
A large zip lock with the a layer of baking soda to collect my "dump" and pack it out when in a hide position or on a
LRRP / LRSD mission....but the term "Dump Bag" may mean something else here...

I used to just toss the empty magazines in a cargo pocket of my BDU's , tuck a partial filled one , in my shirt , or toss 'em in my "butt pack" on my web gear....

LOL... Good one!

Thread drift: I've used the huge pocket on my web gear during a 2 gun competition (BTW, web gear don't work for sh!t with a standard belt holster... the pockets hang right down in the way, but we aren't allowed to use drop holsters unless we are military or LEO). I've also used a trap/skeet/shotgun bag for 3 gun, it was ok but the mags are loose then. I see guys that are into 3 gun have all kinds of fancy gear.

Back on topic: lots of mag fumbles on youtoob, what a hoot!!!

The shooting starts at around 3:00 min.

Dump bags

Dump Demo Leg Rig

its way to early in the AM to be laughing this hard.@andyineverson, bbbass
we started getting issued stuff like that in 2003, now it quite normal.
Army/marines have em.
Airforce uses them for tactical candy dispensers

Aha, I see!

Here is another vid with a LEO tactical reload... looks like it was done pretty well by the officer after getting busy with a gang member:

One of the first TAC reloads I've heard of.

He had great composure...outstanding!

I do not believe in "lulls" in gunfights. Either the threat is verified no longer, or the cavalry is on scene.

I teach speed reload for everything, but since he had a partner there, he was covered.
I would have done a speed reload, and picked up the partial magazine off the deck when feasible if I was alone.

Still too much unknown around there. An apartment building full of who knows who...family...friends, not a good combo to have by yourself when juggling two magazines.

And good reason to top off, yes?

I'm not sure any CCW holder will ever be in a situation like that, but still it's better to have that skill and not need it then not have it and fumble the mag.

Oh YES...That would be a great reason to top off. Well done to the officer on many points!

In my post in #48... the officer dumps his mag on the ground. He is the only one on scene at the time.

I checked that out...good for him!
