Gunfighter Moment – Frank Proctor 
Saturday, September 14th, 2013
There are plenty of ways to load a semi auto pistol or rifle. Many years ago I was trained to perform a “deliberate” load procedure. I am a firm believer in some sort of deliberate load procedure. I use it as a chance to get 1 more repetition on things that matter and an inspection of the gun to make sure it’ll work when needed.
My full on load procedure goes as follows; find something small in a safe direction to present the gun to, this is a great chance to rehearse a shot sequence and see the gun come to what you are looking at. After a short marination on what “right looks like” bring the gun into your workspace and lock the slide or bolt to the rear. At this point I do a 4 point check, inspecting the chamber, magwell, breach face and one more look to the chamber. After a quick inspection of the gun, grab s magazine from your ” go to” spot and perform the mechanics of a reload while driving the gun back to what you were looking at. Once the reload is rehearsed I perform a press check for confirmation that there’s a round in the chamber. I then reset that mag pouch and check any other lights or lasers on the gun. For matches I’ll check my other mags and make sure they aren’t loaded too tight for an action forward reload.
This load procedure has never cost me anything and had prevented me from having that uncomfortable click no bang situations I’ve seen happen to shooters who load differently. Some items of note, the deliberate load procedure can be modified but I believe in getting more reps if you can. I will always do the press check, it’s just too easy and do critical. I perform this whole procedure with the trigger finger on the frame of the gun.
Here’s a video talking through the deliberate load and a coupled other techniques:

Procure Government Purpose Rights for Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern
Friday, September 13th, 2013This should have been done a couple of years ago. Yesterday, Natick published a special notice that they intend to “negotiate and procure government purpose rights for the Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (OCP) from Crye Precision LLC.” OCP is Army-speak for MultiCam. Right now, the Army pays a license to use MultiCam with each yard of fabric it consumes. A license could mean a substantial savings for the Army. However, such arrangements are open to abuse as disreputable vendors could use the Army license to print MultiCam royalty-free. If I were Crye I’d negotiate vigorously.
