Teaches:
speed, emergency, and tactical reloads

Requires:
recommended multiple extra loaded magazines

Drill:
Your primary method of practicing reloads should be dry-fire, but live-fire is the final litmus test for your technique. There are three kinds of reloads: speed, emergency, and tactical. Your drills can be adapted to exercise either one, but ideally the circumstances of your practice should be appropriate to the reload (i.e. tactical reload should be from behind cover, emergency reload after firing to slide lock, etc).
