I'm not new to shooting, but I do want to learn more about proper tactical procedures with both handguns and rifles.
Whether it is for competition or in an actual combative situation, what is the most common way of executing a tactical reload?
Right now, I practice at home with my Glock 23 and Beretta 92FS. The mags on both guns fall pretty freely with no problem.
I am right handed, so I place my extra magazine(s), ammo down, in my left pants pocket or cargo pocket.
I don't have a belt mounbted mag holder and would take advice on what is the best type of mag holder where a person could quickly grab a magazine out of it and quickly place an empty or partial magazine back into it and later retrieve that magazine for later use.
When ready to change magazines, I'll use my left hand to take the magazine out of my left pocket. I'll do this my using my thumb and first 2 fingers. Though I read, some trainers say to place the magazine between the middle and 3rd finger, but I don't see how this helps any.
I then will drop the magazine out of the gun and catch it with the palm and last two fingers of my left hand, while using my first two fingers to push the new magazine into the gun.
Then while holding the gun in my right hand, I use my left hand to place the empty or partial mag into my left side pocket.
My main concern is that I sometimes see myself fumbling around placing or removing the magazine from my pockets using only one hand, so that is why I am wondering what do people like police or SWAT use as far as magazine holders or pockets where magazines can be easily taken out and inserted.
