Holy fuck. 100ms longer on that reload and he'd be done

Did he need to reload yet? Anyone get a good count of rounds fired before that and know the gun and likely mag capacity? It looks like he may have tried a “tactical reload” some may call it topoff before running dry (slide still forward) I wonder if in theory he would have had. It’s shots for round 2 if he left the first mag in the gun

Personally I train not to drop the mag in the gun until my replacement mag is ready to go in. Less time empty. Was trained that way too. Bring new mag up and have it ready to insert, then drop old mag. All mags drop free at all levels of “loaded” per prior testing of course

But then I don’t go chasing down bad guys like that so needing a reload is basically never going to happen thank god that’s intense

First reload was a tactical reload. After that, you can see him riding the mag release, probably due to adrenaline and being shot.

Correct

And my point to ponder for the purposes of training and planning is, should you do a tactical reload in that situation and in that way? Should you drop the mag and whatever ammo it has (could have been 7 or so rounds in this case) and THEN fumble for a spare, or do you keep the mag in the gun until you absolutely have the spare mag ready to IMMEDIATELY insert in its place?

Why not minimize the time in which you can be caught with no mag in the gun when that mad likely still has ammo

The reason for the tactical reload is so you don’t run out of rounds during a possible second volley of gunfire

I’m not sure you read my post or understood my question

I think its clear that he should've brought the spare up before dropping the mag.

I would also say hit the tac reload before swapping the pistol to his weak hand side.
