Tactical reload practice - using spent brass?
While practicing tactical reloads at home, I start with an empty mag in and the slide locked to the rear. I'll put a couple rounds of spent brass in my 'reload' mags so I can practice hitting the slide-release or slide/cock reloads.
Are there any gouge issues with the feed ramps?
If this isn't a good way to do it, how can I practice w/o letting the slide slam forward?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Tactical reload practice - using spent brass?
Curious what pistol you're using?
I was taught not to use the slide-lock on a Glock to allow the slide to go forward because it may break the slide lock.
For reload I was taught to grab the slide and pull it back with conviction."Having a gun and thinking you are armed is like having a piano and thinking you are a musician" Col. Jeff Cooper (U.S.M.C. Ret.)

Not sure about not using the slide lock - I've never heard that you shouldn't use it. Sure, it may be a wear item, but an easily replaced one at that.

It's only with a Glock, no problem with most 1911 slide locks.
And I wouldn't want one to break on my Glock in the middle of a gun fight, no matter how easy it may be."Having a gun and thinking you are armed is like having a piano and thinking you are a musician" Col. Jeff Cooper (U.S.M.C. Ret.)

The theory beyond tap rack is that it places every autoloader into battery whereas the controls for a slide release can differ from gun to gun.
At least that's what I've been taught.

without reading the responses to your post i would suggest finding a girlfriend and practicing with her on a friday night. i have never met a girl who did not appreciate a good solid tactical reload.

Re: Tactical reload practice - using spent brass?
I practice a tactical reload with an empty slides, and of course with no round in the chamber.
A tactial reload doesn't require any slide manipulation. The purpose of a tactical reload is to replenish a low/empty magazine supply with a fresh magazine while there is a live round in the chamber.
