Today, I came across a 2023 incident in San Bernardino involving a shootout between a deputy and a criminal. The action begins at the 10:00 mark.
The lesson here is stay in the fight, even after being wounded.

I was going to write that I was inspired by those beautiful reloads by Sgt. Anderston but then seeing Cardenas dragged like a dead dog through the glass, well, that was much better.
Also, I’ve been to that AM/PM on Bear Valley Rd. on the way to camping in Apple Valley many times over the past 30 years. Victorville has gone from quaint to I’m-the-only-white-guy-without-gang-tats-within-10-miles.

To quote the great philosopher Captain Mal Reynolds, “If someone tries to kill you, you kill them right back.”

Apparently the Sargent and I agree, keep shooting until they quit bouncing.

Crazy time for a malfunction. I never really liked the James Yeager method of racking right after a mag change, it could have hurt and helped in this case–
Hurt: you just emptied the chamber before fully seating the new mag
Helped: the chamber was already emptied by the malfunction from shooting while not having a magazine in place.
Hard to tell if it was caused by the left hand/right hand transitions or if some palm flesh was caught in the mag gap.
