TRIGGER TIME TV - SEASON 8 - EPISODE 7 - RELOADS
About this video
McPhee teaches tactical rifle reload techniques using video diagnostics, demonstrating how to minimize gun movement, maintain target awareness, and execute efficient magazine changes. He emphasizes keeping eyes on the target throughout the reload process and explains the mechanics of proper grip, angle, and slide lock engagement.
Key takeaways
- McPhee argues that keeping the gun on the same plane and angling the magwell to 45 degrees creates a shorter, more efficient reload path
- McPhee emphasizes that acquiring a fresh magazine with bullets in hand takes priority over clearing a hung magazine, as the loaded magazine can be used as a tool to dislodge the stuck one
- McPhee stresses maintaining visual focus on the target throughout the reload, only looking down at the gun when the magazine is approximately half an inch from insertion
