Do you put your AR on safe when doing a mag change?

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

If this article is about officer training, I can certainly understand the logic. But, for me and how I would ever need speed reloads in real life, I have no worries about it.
and thats not the way he was trained.

We were taught at a very young age...EVERY gun is loaded and ready to kill someone.
It was our training that made sure any gun was pointed in safe direction, not that the gun was "on safe".
Ask that guy if I should put the gun on safety between acquisition of a target???
Interesting idea.......
In the movie "The Shootist" with John Wayne, He explains how he "bests" faster quick draw gunfighters, because "most men hesitate just for a second", before they will shoot someone.
Maybe they had a safety on their SA Colt .45's. :shock:
Exactly!!
(Beat me to it.)
Also he said your Glock wouldn't be swinging around your neck or over your shoulder but neither would my Ar I was exchanging mags in either, if the theory is you could drop it I could also do the same with the Glock.
No way. Once the mag is empty, the bolt is locked back.
Release the empty mag so it drops out and slam in a fresh, full mag.
Tap the bolt release and a live round is in the chamber ready to fire.
NEVER had an issue doing this ... of course, have ONLY fired COLT AR16's and AR 15's.
We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.
I thought getting old would take longer. :shock:

While he is probably correct- this isn't a real likely scenario for me. Im not in the military or law enforcement therefore its real unlikely me and a few buddies will be pinned down in a gunfight while we are running multiple AR?s and making multiple mag changes and position movements.
Is what he is advocating probably the best practice- I suppose so. Is any scenario he describes applicable to me- probably not.
I also don?t have a shirt that says ?University of Badassery? like he does- so Im probably a rookie as he says.
I am so slick with my mag changes the I actually gain a round in my RPM (rounds per minute) and the bolt does not lock back because it never recognizes a "empty mag" situation.
The next lier does not stand a chance.
