There are many types of pistol reloads and they are all important to practice and be proficient in. In this video, we cover the Slide Lock Reload, also known as the Emergency reload. Your gun is empty, the slide has locked to the rear with an empty magazine, but you still have a threat that needs to be stopped. This means you need to perform a Slide-Lock reload and quickly get rounds back in the gun.
One of the best drills to gain proficiency in Slide Lock Reloads is the Fire One-Reload-Fire One or One-Reload-One Drill. For this drill, you will need two magazines, one empty and one fully loaded mag.
On-line or in your bay, load one round from the full mag into your firearm, then eject the magazine and insert the empty mag. This will induce a slide lock after the round is fired.
From the holster or position 3 fire one round on target, the slide will lock to the rear, eject the empty mag and insert your fully loaded mag, drop the slide release, and re-engage your target. Repeat as desired.
This is a low-round count drill that works on several fundamentals of pistol marksmanship and weapon manipulation. If desired you can increase the rounds fired to 1-Reload-2, 2-Reload-2, 1-Reload-3, etc.
