VaughnT hit it on the head.

If doing a tac reload there is some new thought on taking the mag from pistol, put it in your pocket and then insert a fresh mag. It's really about as fast as grabbing a fresh mag, dropping the part. used one into your hand and then inserting the fresh mag while holding the used mag BS.

A speed reload the now empty mag goes on the ground with a fresh mag going in. Slide is closed. Empty mags go on the ground period. They can be cleaned and they should be cleaned once in awhile anyways. Drop them on the ground. Did I say drop them on the ground?

Reloads as well as malfunction drills should be practiced.

David, I believe in Murphy's Law. If I've got bullets left in a mag, I'm keeping them. Course in a real gun fight all bets are off until I've taken care of business.
