Where would he get DQed? It looks a lot like the technique I learned from Ray Chapman in 1982.Quote:

What I've been taught, teach and do mirrors the LAV video. Solid manipulations of the gun and mags. There are some organizations that mandate keeping the gun pointed at "the target" this also carriers over to some private groups. In my opinion they let safety completely over ride reality. For one, the gun is empty at that point, when the magazine is re inserted, the pistol is reoriented back towards the target. The trigger finger is straight as well, I don't see how it's unsafe. One can also validate the technique under real world events or even during a competition, try that with your arm out straight and try to reload efficiently under stress, low/no light and movement.
Quick draws and reloads are important but they aren't the end all either.
