Equally true of Concealed Carry.
If you are going to carry you need to do Jam Clearing drills.
And one thing that is not common knowledge is that hand guns with large capacity mags have a more likely chance of jams. The heavy springs necessary for those 13+ capacities make jams more common.
You have to make clearing jams second nature.
You don’t want a jam on your second shot to cost you your life.

It is only common sense that the springs in a magazine would become stiff with non-use. The larger the magazine the more room for failure. I believe my husband oils his magazines after purchase and moves the action a bit to make sure they operate properly. As I said, I’m impressed with the young guys’ ability to keep their heads about them and do what needed to be done at the time.
