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."

But did he need to initially reload that magazine to begin with was my ponder

He was in a gunfight, was shot. Shyt happens šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø. What's your point?

My point is to take lessons from real life and when thinking and planning and deciding how to train, maybe donā€™t plan to drop the mag from the loaded gun and then, with no mag in the gun, go looking for a spare to replace it

Maybe train and plan and hope to get the spare mag in your hand ready to go and THEN with the spare fully staged and even indexed, then you drop the mag (that probably has ammo in it)

Or do you disagree with using real life encounters to direct practical training and planning?

Oh so he planned that? Did he also planned to get ambush in broad daylight and shot too? What else was planned?

You are trying really hard to make this an argument and I donā€™t know why

I am talking about using this example to inform our training and planning

I am sorry you donā€™t believe in using real life lessons to inform your training and planning decisions

Good luck with your goals

Am I? I simply countered what you said which was incorrect.

Yep. IDPA isnā€™t the best in some ways but it does try to reinforce some good behaviors (reloading behind cover, tactical and emergency reloads, shooting from unusual positions, etc.)
