I just read another thread where, 'tap, rack, bang' was mentioned. For those of us who carry a pistol, this has to be practiced regularly. The reason for this post is what do we do when tap and rack doesn't work.
I am talking about the dreaded double feed. The first, and only time this happened to me I didn't know the correct way of clearing my weapon, and if I had been in a self-defense situation, I would have been in trouble. Since then I have learned and practice the drill of tap, rack, no bang, lock back the slide, remove the magazine, rack,rack, rack, insert magazine (preferably a new one), tap, rack, bang. It doesn't take long to do this with practice, but it must be practiced.
Just my thought for the day.
