BCM Training Tip - Preventing the "Auto-Load"
This BCM training tip from Larry Vickers addresses the 'auto-load' phenomenon, where seating a magazine causes the handgun slide to drop prematurely. Vickers explains this is common in lighter polymer-framed pistols like certain M&P, HK, and Glock models. He demonstrates the correct technique of driving the magazine straight up the magwell, a method credited to Ken Hackathorn, to ensure reliable slide lock-back and prevent accidental chambering.
