How to Clear A Type 1 Malfunction With One Hand
This video from USCCA's Tactical Tuesday series demonstrates how to clear a Type 1 firearm malfunction using only one hand. Instructors Steve Fischer and Mike Brickner explain and demonstrate a technique involving slapping the magazine to ensure it's seated, then using the firearm's rear sights against a pocket or belt to rack the slide and clear the malfunction. The drill emphasizes the importance of being able to clear stoppages when a support hand is unavailable.
