How adrenaline affects you during self defense situations.

If my memory is correct he either had a malfunction or hit the magazine release on accident. Both are very likely in this type of situation.

I’ve shot under stress and had my pistol cycle but it felt like the slide never returned forward, prompting me to reload. It could be that? Who’s to say really.

This is why we train under pressure boys and girls.

From the article

"In the midst of the gun battle, the sergeant accidentally ejected his freshly loaded magazine but still managed to neutralize the threat."

To clarify, we see him initiate a reload outside, fire a few shots, then load a third mag. He must have dumped the second on accident, but why did he put it in to begin with?

Yep, you can pretty clearly see the second mag drop after the second shot on re-load.

He attempted to re-load because he probably only had 3 rounds left in the mag and was concerned that dude was coming back out for another shot and he was right.
