The slide lock reload is the best method for a magazine change when it comes to operating a pistol for personal defense. While tactical reloads and reloading schemes for shooting sports have their place as well, the armed civilian should practice the slide lock reload firstly and foremostly, as it is the most practical.

Many reloading techniques that are taught are simply wrong or inefficient. Here, we go over the fundamentals of a slide lock reload, starting with getting your pistol into position by rotating it backwards toward you.

You may need to rotate the gun in your hand. Do so by pushing the grip with your fingertips toward the thumb, so your shooting hand thumb can operate the magazine release.

At the same time, the support hand draws a fresh magazine. Your index finger should be straight, and indexed against the front of the magazine. Essentially you guide the magazine into the magazine well of the pistol.

Don't take your eyes off the target until the magazine reaches the magazine well. Look just long enough to get the magazine started into the gun. Get your eyes back on target, and finish pressing the magazine home.

Once it's seated, reposition the gun into a good shooting grip, and actuate the slide release to complete the reload. Represent the pistol to the target, acquire a sight picture and resume firing.

It's not complicated, but takes some time to become efficient at it. Start practicing slow, and build up to reloading at speed. You can incorporate reloading into your dry fire practice as well to get extra reps.

You also want to make sure you have good mag carriers for range use and daily carry. You can find those, and other quality carry gear, at:
