I just put this on the gun club board and thought I'd toss it out to you guys for comment.
Recently I have been experiencing some DISMAL IDPA match results. So what ELSE is new, right? Please, no cracks. :duh:
I have never concentrated on playing the "IDPA game" and many of you may recall my first question on finishing a course is if I had any procedurals. However, I think I'm having a lot of trouble with my reload technique, especially where mag retention is critical. It's always been a problem even when I was using a 1911 or my Glock. It may be worse now because I recently switched to the H&K USP (strange mag release).
Can somebody detail a good sequence, step by step, for a smooth and fast tactical reload (not from slidelock)? Is it worthwhile to put the replaced mag back in the mag holder on the hip or does this burn more time? How many folks swap the mags and retain hold of the mag in the nonfiring hand so as to keep the pace? If this is done, what happens if you must perform yet another reload? I need this asap so I can practice before the next qualifier in April. :blink:
