<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editor\u2019s Note: <\/strong>The following is a syndicated article by author Ed Combs that first appeared in USCCA\u2019s Concealed Carry Magazine Volume 15, Issue 2, February\/March 2018 under the title, \u201cRecharge Reloaded: History of the Spare.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some dislike reload drills because it\u2019s a part of handgun training that can expose the practitioner as anything less than an expert. You\u2019d be amazed how many shooters, even when told to start slowly and build speed as the technique is perfected, will rush too quickly and basically negate whatever training they could accomplish. They quickly become frustrated and end up basically wasting their time (and, even worse, training in ineffective techniques that might someday get them killed). Add to this the fact that some shooters only engage in training of any kind at an actual live-fire range, and you have a recipe for general unpreparedness. It gets tougher though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like other areas of training and technique, reloads and the\npositioning of extra ammunition can be tricky. The reason is the same as why so\nmany other areas of defensive handgunning get so hazy: Individuals offering\nadvice and training might have been trained in handgun use decades ago, and\nthey might be applying what we\u2019ll call \u201cclassic\u201d training methodologies to\ncontemporary subject matter. This can cause difficulties, and those\ndifficulties can often be traced back to the evolution of law enforcement\nequipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand that it can seem like we talk a lot about law\nenforcement in these pages that are dedicated to the private citizen, but\nplease understand that many of the most important advances in handgunning\nequipment and tactics came from the ranks of law enforcement, especially prior\nto about 20 years ago. Concealed carry permit classes are also very likely to\nbe instructed by retired law enforcement officers, and this is where the issues\nbegin to compound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the good old days of mandatory neckties and\nheavy-barreled Smith & Wesson Model 10s, most officers carried 12 or 18\nrounds of ammunition on the front of the duty belt. These rounds were\neventually carried in speedloaders, but before the 1980s, they were carried in\nsimple drop pouches or even old-style cartridge loops. Sometimes, these\ncartridges were carried on the left side of the officer\u2019s belt buckle, but if he\ncould swing it, he\u2019d wear them at his 1 o\u2019clock position. There was a very good\nreason for this: When the revolver was run dry, the (in this case,\nright-handed) officer was to get to cover if possible and do the following as\nquickly as he could:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Holding the revolver in a firing grip in the right\nhand, hit the cylinder release with the right thumb. Swing the cylinder of the\nrevolver out of the frame with the middle and ring fingers of the left hand,\npin it between those fingers and the swell of the palm and slam the cylinder\nplunger with the right hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> After the cylinder is completely cleared, retrieve\nammunition from the duty belt with the right hand and execute a reload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Push the cylinder back into battery and index it\nwith the left hand while regaining a firing grip with the right hand; get back\nin the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When practiced, this could be done quickly enough. However,\nwhen it comes to running an automatic pistol, the positioning of the ammunition\nsupply isn\u2019t really up for debate: The two or three magazines on the duty belt\nare worn at the right-handed shooter\u2019s 11 o\u2019clock. When executing an autoloader\nreload from duty gear, this is the sequence after getting to cover if possible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>Hit the magazine release on the pistol with the\nright thumb. (Many agencies even train officers to always manually strip an\nempty magazine out of the gun, but I\u2019ve never seen it strictly enforced except\nduring malfunction drills.) While doing so, unsnap the first magazine pouch you\ncan get your hand on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>Holding the pistol in the right hand, keep it at\neye level as you drive the left thumb down into the magazine pouch behind a\ncharged magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Gripping it with the left thumb, index and middle\nfinger, draw the charged magazine from the pouch, keeping the index finger on\nthe front (or projectile) side of the magazine and guide it into the magazine\nwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> After certain that the magazine is seated, grasp\nthe back top of the slide with the left hand, jerk back on it and release; get\nback in the fight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As is apparent, this can make for quite a training scar\namong those who worked for years (or sometimes decades) with their spare\ngunloads on their dominant sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, this has to be one of the reasons why the\ncombination sidearm\/magazine holster is still so popular. The fine specimen\nfrom Mernickle Holster Company [pictured above] is absolutely top-of-the-line,\nyet it is a holster I would not personally choose to carry. I\u2019ve spent too many\nyears immediately going for my left side when I run a gun dry, and I don\u2019t see\nan upside worth training enough to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though not my cup of tea, such holsters are nothing new.\nWhen you look at the military holsters made for Luger P08s, Walther P38s and\nall different kinds of Soviet service pistols, it becomes apparent that the\nappeal of a combination holster\/magazine carrier not only offered a shooter one\nfewer thing to worry about rigging onto his loadout gear but didn\u2019t require a\nwhole lot more training beyond \u201cwhen in doubt, grab for the pistol pouch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. military was one group that bucked this trend when they adopted their new \u201cAutomatic Pistol, Caliber .45, M1911.\u201d The \u201cHolster Model 1912\u201d was basically an old-style cavalry holster slightly modified to fit the 1911 and mag onto the newfangled \u201cweb belt,\u201d but one thing it was conspicuously missing was an integral magazine pouch on the holster. Nope, the 1912 was to be used in conjunction with the M1910 canvas belt. That belt, the M1912 leather holster and a canvas double magazine pouch were to be worn as a system much like you\u2019d see on a modern law enforcement officer: gun on the dominant-hand side and ammunition on the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I find so interesting about that is the fact that we as\na nation made that decision before most people on the planet had even seen a\npicture of an automobile, but, in other nations, the combination\npistol\/magazine carrier hung around until the 1970s (and, in a few of those\nnations, until present day). What can I say? Just another instance of the\nUnited States leading the way in handgunning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRAIN LIKE YOU\u2019LL FIGHT?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than a few instructors swear up and down that, in the\npast, law enforcement officers have been found dead on the ground with empty\ncartridge cases in their pockets. This is very important for reasons you might\nalready understand, regardless of the origin of this (likely apocryphal)\nlegend: Every time those men trained on the range, they emptied spent shells\nfrom the cylinders of their revolvers directly into their hands to avoid having\nto scramble around and pick them up later. This left training scars so\nsignificant as to (allegedly) cost them their lives in actual exchanges of\ngunfire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does this have to do with holsters and where you carry\nyour extra ammunition?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look, it is of no real significance to me where and how you\ncarry your spare ammunition. If you carry a revolver and a pack speedloader\npouch in the small of your back, good for you. If you carry an auto and stow a\nspare mag in an IWB carrier at your 7 o\u2019clock, that makes me happy. Even if\nyou\u2019re going against the advice we provide here at CCM<\/em> \u2014 maybe you\u2019re\ncarrying a mag for your Ruger LCP loose in your pocket or you tossed a\nspeedloader for your revolver into your purse and called it a day \u2014 that works.\nDo I prefer that you do those things? No. However, I understand how they happen\nand I would rather you have spare ammo on your person at all times than not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I do ask is that however it is you\u2019ve decided to carry your extra ammunition, you train on accessing and deploying it. If you\u2019ve invested several hundred dollars in a custom-made concealed carry system from a premier tactical company, that\u2019s swell. If you\u2019ve availed yourself of a very affordable yet still high-quality pocket holster, I\u2019m, honestly, just as pleased for you. Either way, you\u2019ll need to train drawing from that holster, and you\u2019ll need to train in reloading the gun after you\u2019ve run it dry or it malfunctions. If you fail to do this \u2014 if you think that \u201csidearm and reload physically on my person\u201d equals \u201cprepared to employ that equipment to save my life\u201d \u2014 you\u2019re falling into a very dangerous trap that\u2019s claimed lives since back when reloads involved powderhorns and patch knives. Carry that extra ammunition, but respect it. Carry it in a way that you\u2019ll be able to access and deploy it when needed, and train in doing so. If you\u2019re there for your reloads, they\u2019ll be there for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
