[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1571076, member: 229"] Again, not trying to knock anyone for doing their thing, but I shoot my guns regularly and anytime I have a problem with a mag, I mark it - if I can't clean it or tune it to prevent it from malfunctioning, I pitch them - no reason to have problem mags around. In training, if you have a malfunction in your handgun, your first response should never be to drop the mag (at least as far as any of the classes I've ever attended, or training videos I've ever watched). In Cat 1/2 malfunctions, the best practice is to quickly visually inspect (for a loose mag, a stovepipe or possible cat3/double-feed), and then Tap-Rack-Bang. The only danger is a possible hang-fire or squib, but if you're using good self-defense ammo, this is almost never a problem. In a Cat 3, you don't even really have to chuck the mag - you can retain it and rack the slide 3 times after you've locked the slide, but either way, you're screwing around with your gun (mag quickly accessible or not) for quite a little bit of time, so you'd probably want to find cover should you be facing bad-guys who are shooting at you while you're doing this. Edited to add - BTW, that Triple-Crown holster/mag-holder look pretty bad-ass. I may have to pick up a holster from Troy for my XD9sc. Been looking at picking up another Ugly Bald-Guy Holster, but that setup looks pretty nice. [/QUOTE]
