I try to practice it at least once every range session. I take a bunch of mags and load 'em up putting empty brass into the mix (sometimes even putting in several empty casings in a row). I then mix up the mags so I don't know what has what, and off I go. Allows me to practice clearing failure to fire, mis-feeds and the like. One thing I have found: the .357 sig will feed and extract empty casings one after the other; rarely will I get a jam that requires having to drop the mag. 9mm does not perform as smoothly: 2 or 3 empty cases in a row and usually a nasty jam is produced and I'm obliged to drop the mag and clear the jam. It's good practice and really drives home the fact that a jam is very costly in terms of time.
