I do have a video of him doing it, but I don't know how he would feel about me posting it somewhere.FrEaK_aCcIdEnT wrote:jimlongley wrote:I shot IDPA with a one armed man for a while, watching him load, reload, clear and holster was impressive.

Using the sight and pushing against your belt will work too. Also, anything that roughs up the top of the slide will help create friction. One thing that works good is skateboard tape. With it on the top of a Glock slide, you can rack it on your pants.srothstein wrote:So, practice tapping the butt against something to make sure the magazine is fully seated, then practice racking the slide with one hand. The way that works best for me is to push the sights against the edge of the heel on my boots, but others have other methods. Some push the weapon into the back of the knee to hold the slide while they push across with the good hand (I cannot seem to get this to work reliably but I have seen officers who could). Another one we used to do in the Army is to push the pistol back into the holster sideways so it would not go all the way down. This worked even on Army Flap holsters
My friend shot a 1911, and BTW, never swept anyone with the muzzle during reloads.george wrote:REVOLVER.
I think the first one shows a good practice routine for all of us to try. I usually do not go that far in practice, but I have done it a few times.isoplus wrote:FrEaK_aCcIdEnT wrote:jimlongley wrote:I shot IDPA with a one armed man for a while, watching him load, reload, clear and holster was impressive.

Not cheating at all - he's using a Browning High Power.srothstein wrote:In the second one, i think he cheats. There is no barrel bushing shown being removed, so the spring is not under pressure. But I still doubt I could do it one handed. I might come close to his time using both hands, if I had to with a Drill Sgt standing behind me.
