Lorimor:
Back to the "empty case" malfunction set up. Here's a polymer gun guy who has to suffer with that kind of nonsense. :)
I'm not sure I agree with his approach. Re-inserting the mag may or may not clear the stoppage of the type he sets up (he demonstrates it, so it must work), but I feel it adds a needless complication. If the gun stops and the standard TRB approach doesn't clear it, it's time to drop the mag and start racking! Who has the time or more accurately, who WANTS to take the time, to assess the type of stoppage? Is an empty case simply hung up somewhere in there or are you dealing with the infamous "double feed" stoppage? Are you going to take extra time to determine what's hung up the gun?
RIP, rack, rack, rack, re-insert, rack again and hopefully the gun goes bang if necessary. :)

If it doesn't go bang then throw the gun at the bad guy and run away screaming.

Lorimor I'll have to put Jacques up there with Pincus (and his Critical Dynamic Incidents) in my hierarchy of "ilLOGICal solutions" to rare problems. Sometimes I think I made a bad career choice vice a job where I can sit around and formulate ways to come up with a new spin on an already solved problem. One thing I would be interested in that there is really no way to study is how many TACTICool students of the gun have ever been involved in a gun fight where said techniques have been needed. Furthermore, it would be interesting to know how many of the write ups in the "Armed Citizen" column of the NRA rag have needed to exercise an IAD. ....

I'm going to go waaaaaaayyyyyy out on a limb and say the odds of ever needing to perform an IAD approach zero. Probably have better odds of Dear Leader renouncing his economic policies and publicly embracing lassez faire Capitalism.
But, on the other hand, there's this guy who will advise you that the more reliable your handgun, the more you should practice malfunction clearance drills.
Never having been in a serious altercation of any kind, I can only speculate but I'm thinkin' that if for instance, things didn't go quite the way you planned (which does happen), and suddenly you are thumpin' a BG upside the head with the heater 'cause he showed up while you were drawing a fine bead on his equally nefarious buddy, maybe an IAD might be required after the attitude adjustment.
Regardless, it provides an avenue for Internet chatter. :)

Speaking of Bill Wilson "living the good life", his old place in Arkansas is up for sale:

Buy it for me Bullit and I swear I'll never say another cross word about Texas again. I might even let you shoot there once in awhile for a small fee.
