More than normal blind leading blind training today and I overheard a gem of wisdom. "If you ram the clip in real hard the gun will rack" Not sure how the guy knew that??
Even though I still haven't figured out how shoving the mag in really hard retracts and releases the slide he said it with such confidence that I'm sure it must be true. Maybe it's one of those secret Israeli techniques I haven't heard about?

All of my CZ's will do that if you slap the mag home with any real energy. Scared the crap out of me the 1st time it happened. Checking with the men of knowledge at CGW's they said yes they will do that with a vigorous (combat..??) mag change. Ease the mag into lock and no worries.
My current EDC M&P will drop the slide when I slam a new mag in, but it won't rack it for me.
Maybe I am not hitting it hard enough.... ha ha
Exactly my point. Terminology, technology, their lack of basic knowledge of something so potentially dangerous never ceases to amaze me. The fact that they carry a pistol without a thought of being trained in the very basics of the technology is something impossible for me to comprehend. These are not outliers they are 90% of the people I see carrying. It's scary.My bad. If I heard someone say their gun would rack if you rammed a mag into the gun, I'd assume that like 99% of the populace, they had no idea what terminology was proper.

And it is endless fuel for the anti's.
Beyond mandatory training (nobody seems to want more intrusion from big brother) what do we do about this. Attempting to enlighten these folks is like arguing with a chain saw.
Yes beware of the BillyBobs

Same with Glocks but it takes finess. Gotta hit it HARD and with a forward glancing blow... to the point that by the end of a match you'll have a bruise. Once or twice is enough for me. Its cool but I dont want to do it more than 3x in a range session.Also a known feature/bug of the S&W M&P. Also a phenomenon that can be made to happen with a Glock, with inward pressure on the slide stop. I know a ton of lefties (myself included) who use that technique in reloads.
How many rounds do you put down range before you ask for help?
