My order unsurprisingly had no effect - it got to within a car width of me and was still charging and baring its teeth when I shot it. When it charged, I backed up, drew my gun, and heard myself shout “BACK UP” all on autopilot - As I heard those words come out of my mouth, I remember thinking that it was kind of dumb to issue commands in a human language to a dog - but I didn’t decide to do it I heard myself say it without having made the decision to do so. I shot a dog which had just attacked someone else and was charging at me.

So, has anyone had any experience accidentally dumping their mag? It could have been in a DGU, at the range, or during competition. but accidentally dumping it on the ground while firing is a big problem I had never considered until now. Before I carried a revolver, I didn't concern myself very much with carrying a spare since I vetted and then babied my carry mag. I don't know if it's a training thing, a big Glock mag release button thing, an aftermarket parts thing, or an oh crap I'm in a shootout and weird stuff/death gripping the gun happens thing.Īnyway, it got me wondering if accidentally dropping your mag is something us self defenders may run into as well and I thought it would be an interesting discussion to have here.
