If your strong hand is injured, you'll use your off-hand. If the pistol is dropped, kneel to pick it up. Use your off-hand's trigger finger to release the magazine, pinch the pistol behind your leg, insert a new magazine, and rack the slide off the heel of your boot using the rear sights.

What if I get injured before I can draw my pistol?

If injured before drawing, reach across your body to grab the pistol. Then, go to a knee, clamp the pistol behind your leg or place it on the ground, and acquire a proper grip to prepare for shooting.

What is the technique for racking the slide with your off-hand?

To rack the slide with your off-hand, brace the rear sights of the pistol against the heel of your boot and use that leverage to pull the slide rearward.
