Why I Don't Plus 1 My Gun
This video explains why the presenter chooses not to 'plus one' their firearm, which involves chambering a round and then topping off the magazine before holstering. The primary reasons cited are the interruption of the communication stream between the magazine and firearm, potentially leading to user-induced malfunctions like a dropped magazine due to stack pressure, and the negative impact on muscle memory development for consistent firearm manipulation. The presenter advocates for carrying a spare magazine as a more reliable alternative.
