Speed Loading the Semiauto Pistol

A magazine exchange is easy to do if you take your time, but would that be wise in a gunfight? How fast do you need to be able to reload? I don't know, but I do know an empty handgun is nothing more than a short club. When I originally tried to load quickly, I missed the magazine well, inserted it crooked or just dropped it on the ground.

Modular AR-15 Trigger Systems

I immediately told the officer not to modify the factory triggers on these guns. While I hate to be liability-phobic, such modifications can be viewed with skepticism in a lawsuit.
