    Some Thoughts on Reloading the Pistol

    What follows are some of my thoughts on reloading the pistol. Hope you folks find them worthwhile.

    The first thing to address is where to put the gun to attempt to get it reloaded. After that, we have to look at how to best get the task completed in the context of the problem we are trying to deal with.

    Where Do we Put the stupid Thing?

    Reloading the pistol breaks down into two categories: Proactive and Reactive. No matter what name a technique is given, the reloads all break down into Proactive and Reactive. What do I mean? You either believe you have some bullets in the gun and want to put more bullets in the gun OR there are no bullets in the gun and you need to put bullets in the gun. All 'Tactical Reloads' are examples of Proactive reloads and most 'Speed Reloads' are examples of Reactive reloads. Of course, you could choose to execute a speed reload as a tactical reload, too. :mrgreen:

    Reactive Reloads occur when the gun is out of ammo and you need bullets in the gun ASAP. This is referred to as a Speed or Emergency or Combat reload by some.
    Different methods of operating the slide are taught by several folks. Some grasp the slide in an overhand fashion. Others utilize a 'sling shot' grip to move the slide. Still others use the gun hand thumb to move the slide release. And others will manipulate the slide release with the offhand thumb.
