| COMBAT RAPID RELOAD WITH FINGER-REST-EXTENSION EQUIPPED GLOCK® 26, 27, 33, or 39 | ||
| The GAP Enterprises, Inc. Finger Rest
Extension facilitates rapid reloading by using the combat survival
concepts of muscle-memory and large muscle movements. When releasing
the magazine during a reload or a malfunction clearance and the magazine
is equipped with the stock Glock® 26, 27, or 33 magazine endcap
or another magazine extension currently available, the magazine may
have a tendency to become hampered by the fleshy portion of the palm
of the firing hand and not drop completely free from the weapon. In
order to compensate for this, one must either pinch or pull the magazine
with the fingertips or cant the weapon in such a way as to sacrifice
much of the firing grip. Another questionable method is to cant the
weapon and shake it while pressing the magazine release. All these
methods either employ fine-motor skills or require a loss of one's
firing grip. In simple terms, these methods are not combat effective. Whether performing a speed or tactical reload or clearing a malfunction, the GAP Enterprises, Inc. Finger Rest Extension allows the shooter to rapidly strip the magazine from the weapon with a natural, large-muscle, sweeping motion of the non-firing hand. There are three distinct advantages to this reloading method. 1) The large-muscle, sweeping movement of the non-firing hand allows the tip of the The GAP Enterprises, Inc. Finger Rest Extension to be caught between any of the five fingers, thereby eliminating the fine-motor function of pinching or pulling the magazine with the fingertips (fine-motor functions greatly deteriorate under stress). 2) The downward sweeping motion of the non-firing hand can be continued straight to the source of the fresh magazine (on belt, in waistband, in pocket, etc.) effectively eliminating any unnecessary movements–in combat, time and distance are crucial, and this reloading technique helps keep time on your side! 3) The firing hand does not have to sacrifice much of its firing grip on the weapon during the reload allowing increased weapon retention and a rapid reacquisition of the target. Additionally, not shaking the weapon and maintaining the firing grip greatly reduces the disastrous chance of fumbling, juggling, or (worst of all) dropping your weapon. |
