What is “Reload”?
Reload is a command and technique in firearms training that involves replacing an empty or partially empty magazine or cylinder with a fresh one, ensuring the gun is ready to fire again. This process is crucial, especially in defensive situations where every second counts.
Reloading is practiced during live-fire and dry-fire drills to enhance efficiency and speed, ensuring your firearm remains functional and ready for action in self-defense scenarios.
