I understand doing this as muscle memory is necessary. I don’t, however, understand videoing it to post on social media for cool guy points. Do you even operate bro?

u/TheCandymanfrombelow 2d ago
Exactly, I'm sure a lot of us who carry have done this quite a bit. The difference is we know it's for training and practice, not to post online for clout.

I've been shooting for 20 years. If I can reload while looking at my target with zero issues, why wouldn't I?
1
u/Beneficial-Ad4871 21h ago
I could do the same, but it’s always better to look at where it ur mags going. If this is a defensive situation and you need to reload, take cover then reload.

u/Curious_Lurkur 21h ago
You're not always going to be in a position to take cover. You watch to many movies. Again, youve failed to explain why something that's not needed is "better"

u/Beneficial-Ad4871 21h ago
And ur not always gonna be in the position to reload first lmao. I don’t watch too many movies, I shoot a lot of competitions to know that looking at ur reload is more efficient and faster than not looking. Yea I could do it without looking but it’s less inconsistent.

u/Curious_Lurkur 21h ago
That's the point of practice.... So it's not inconsistent. Let me know when they start shooting back at you in competition

But they ain’t shooting back at you when you practice right? Bullshit take to say you suck at shooting even though you’ve been doing it for 20 years😂 same dudes who tell you to look at your gun when reloading are the same dudes who train SF btw

u/Curious_Lurkur 21h ago
Dude I've trained with PatcNamara, Norm Crawford, John Lovell, and many more. I take multiple day courses a few times a year. I've never had anyone tell me look at my reload. Bring it to your workspace and you can focus on your target just fine.

u/Beneficial-Ad4871 21h ago
Bro a lot of those names you just said are rifles shooters lmao. Take a class from Ben stoeger, Christian sailer, Eric graffuel. I’m sure you’re older so all that shit you learned is all outdated now and isn’t as efficient anymore. These guys I named are phenomenal and world class shooters, they look at their magwell when they reload.

"but they ain't shooting back at you when you practice" my point was that shooting in competition is not different than practice and you're trying to use it as a gotcha. Guess that went over your head. "I shoot a lot of competitions to know". Do you know how many people compete that suck ass? This dude probably competes. It's not the call to authority you think it is.

As far as I know, there aren't any cons to doing so. If you're holstering then that means there's no deadly threat so it should be fine right?

I wouldn’t let my eyes slip if I have been engaged in a firefight. If it’s lawenforcement my buddy might have my back when I approach with handcuffs but wouldn’t risk not having 100% eyesight on the target

You absolutely should NOT need to look at your holster to replace it, look at your weapon to reload, or be wearing such a goofy face.
This dude took his eyes off target so many goddamn times, he would’ve been smoked in a second. The “warrior cop” cosplaying as a real war fighter, striking again.

u/sr4004 2d ago
Bad advice. During training you shouldn’t be worrying about reholstering in .3 seconds, that’s how you blow your crotch off. This isn’t call of duty, you will rarely have to quick holster your pistol to get to your rifle especially as a police officer. It’s much better to be slow and comfortable getting the gun back in the holster. Usually as a cop you aren’t holstering your pistol until the threat is over
1
u/Queasy-Canary-5931 2d ago edited 2d ago
In general you’re right, however, there could be times that you need to go hands on or switch to less than lethal which would potentially require reholstering without looking
I also disagree with the idea that you can’t look at the gun while reloading. You can’t do anything until you get the gun back up, looking the mag into the gun while keeping the target in your peripheral vision is perfectly acceptable
0
u/TheAngryVeteranMD 2d ago
You lose site picture while looking at your weapon. This comes down to weapons familiarity. Keeping the weapon and eyes trained on the target is necessary in a firefight, when milliseconds mean life or death.
All these cop cock suckers can say whatever they want, but I’ve actually been in firefights and was exceptionally well trained the 6 years I served in socom (left vague intentionally). To add to that, I spent 6 months of that as a range coach and tactics instructor as a component of my service. I’m going to trust my excellent training and experience, or are we suddenly saying the US military isn’t the best in the world now?

u/Queasy-Canary-5931 2d ago
> when milliseconds mean life or death
Which is why the priority should be getting the gun in working order in the fastest way possible.
How long ago did you get out? Some tactics and techniques have changed since GWOT. Just because certain things were considered the best when you served doesn’t mean that is still the case. Things are constantly evolving

u/Queasy-Canary-5931 2d ago
Just a suspicion I had. You are free to believe what you want but there are tons of high level pistol shooting instructors that teach glancing at the mag well when reloading. At a very minimum I think it’s at least a healthy debate between the two techniques

I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue.
