Given all of the other stuff an officer must carry, where in the world does one carry 5 spare mags and three BUGs? Wow!

I wonder if he's ever chased anyone on foot with all that stuff.
he is a good sized fella, his clothing baggy.. he is in a very rural area he keeps his gear very minimal . except response tools( :anamatedbanana ) ... no he dont run any more, bad knees.... and he is also 54 ..... he is one of the most powerful men I have ever encountered...amazing strength. if he ever had reason to put hands on a person with anger.. god hepl'em... Sure glad we are amazing friends...

:iagree: This exactly. An active shooter will most often face little to no resistance and changing a mag is no big deal for them even if they use 10 rd mags. In a self defense situation you are actively bing attacked and are firing back. A defensive shooter may not have time to do a mag change. If you hear the "loudest noise" a gun can make, it just may be one of the last things you ever hear.
I think a lone whack job shooter will be methodical.. they are focused on their objective.. giving a opportunity.. albeit limited... or perhaps none at all.

in a sole hold up BG.. your chances are limited to respond depending on angle of confrontation... my best ever draw and fire from retention is only 0.78... I average in the high 0.90s a fellow shooter I know has managed 0.64

every scenario is different.. you may have opportunity and then again your light may go out before you ever hear/see a flash...

I know this much.. hesitation will hurt once identified...
