Reloading with retention? \u00a0What exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n

Well, in the (NSFW) video above Clay discusses not only what it means to reload with retention, but also situations where reloading with retention makes sense and situations where reloading with retention is not a high priority.<\/p>\n

To test your knowledge of the subject, here is a pop quiz: \u00a0Of the three, who should be the most mindful to reload with retention?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The law-abiding citizen<\/li>\n
  2. The police officer<\/li>\n
  3. The soldier<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Place your answer in the comment section below along with a brief explanation before you watch the video. \u00a0Then, see if you’re correct. \u00a0There’s no shame in being wrong, BTW.<\/p>\n
