Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two methods for loading a carry gun with a '+1' round?

The two methods demonstrated are: 1) Load a full magazine, chamber a round, remove the magazine, add one more round, and re-insert. 2) Manually chamber a round, release the slide, then insert a full magazine.

The firearm demonstrated is a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus, a popular micro-compact pistol often used for concealed carry. The demonstration uses 9mm caliber.

Why is it important to use snap caps for practice?

Snap caps, or dummy rounds, are crucial for safe practice. They allow you to practice loading, unloading, and function checks without the risk of accidentally firing a live round, especially when dry-firing or practicing manipulation drills.

'+1' refers to the practice of ensuring there is a round already chambered in the firearm, in addition to the full capacity of rounds loaded in the magazine. This means the firearm is ready to fire immediately upon drawing.
