Videos tagged with Magazine Topping Off

This guide details two methods for loading a handgun with an extra round in the chamber, often referred to as a "+1". The first method, "topping off," involves chambering a round, removing the magazine, adding a round, and reinserting. The second, "direct chamber loading," places a round in the chamber first, followed by a fully loaded magazine. Both techniques are demonstrated by 1st Shot Tactical on a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 9 Plus, emphasizing safe and efficient firearm preparation.
