View Full Version : How do you reload? I need some advice!
January 2, 2006, 07:46 PM Hey guys, I've been practicing
reloading for my first IDPA match and I had a few ?'s.  I have
small hands and cannot press the mag release on my G17 with my
right hand without shifting the gun out the web of my right hand
thumb and pointer finger. I then grab the empty with the my
left, exchange it for a fresh one, plug it in, and release the
slide. Is this alright? Or is my other way better:  Leave the
gun in the web of my right hand thumb and pointer finger and use
my left hand to press the mag release, grab the empty, exchange
it with a fresh one, plug it in and release the slide.  They
both have about the same reload with retention times at around 4
seconds from slidelock to slide release.    Capt Charlie January

you can do it pretty fast with your left hand.  I do wonder why
you're going for slide lock though. It takes practice, but learn
to count your shot
