Course Overview
THE EARTH STAGE
Earth is the ground everything else is built on. A gun that runs dry at the wrong moment takes all of it away.
Reloading at a bench with all the time in the world is easy. Doing it fast, with your eyes on the problem and your hands doing the work, is a trained skill.
In two hours of live fire you'll learn the reloads we use at every level: the speed reload when the gun runs empty, the tactical reload when you have a moment to top off, and the loading and unloading procedure run on every JM Training range.
This is class 06 on the Handgun Level 0 roadmap. You should already be comfortable with basic marksmanship and drawing from a holster.
Training Focus
Primary Course Outcomes
Speed Reloads
The slide locks back, the empty magazine drops and the fresh one is seated before the gun leaves your workspace.
Tactical Reloads
Top the gun off during a lull and keep the partial magazine, because you might need those rounds later.
Load, Make Ready, Show Clear
The loading and unloading procedure used on every JM Training range, done the same safe way every time.
