greetings from the great state of Texas!
shot this practical/tactical pistol match over the weekend. been out of shooting comps for like 15 years or so. everyone was really nice, except for this one range Nazi. after the stage, he said i should watch my muzzle direction when i was reloading at slide lock. i think it was something for him to say to get under my skin, or he is just showing his ignorance about guns being perfectly safe when they're empty and at slide lock.
my gun went to slide lock, bring gun in close to me, flip my grip just wee bit so my thumb can hit the mag release, so gun is pointed upward say somewhere between perfectly down range and 45 degrees up wards, grab fresh mag, stuff fresh mag, start to point the gun perfectly down range towards target again, hit the slide lock, gun goes back into battery, track to target, BANG! BANG!
doesn't everybody do their reloads like that?
where's your muzzle go when you reload?
or should i say something to the match director about this clueless zealous range Nazi?
