As I learned in Basic, usually the time to use full auto is if you find yourself in an ambush - keeps their head down while you get out of the kill zone and back to the rendezvous point.

NYPD used to practice the "New York Reload" (grab your backup gun when your primary runs dry). This was more prevalent in the revolver days.

I should practice reloading my pistol while also holding backup gun in other hand (it can be done -- use pinky and ring finger to grab and insert spare mag, while holding backup gun with other fingers)

I remember a guy in the book "Blackhawk Down" in the escape convoy was in the back of a truck and could not stop shooting for any reason. So he shot his 9mm pistol while he reloaded his rifle and vice versa. Later that guy became an ICE agent, I believe.
