Average vs Good</h2> <p>The honest answer almost nobody gives you: <strong>a typical shooter with a belt-mounted magazine pouch runs about 2.5 to 3 seconds</strong> from the shot that empties the gun to the shot that follows the reload. That number is not a target, it is a description — it is roughly what you get when someone who shoots a few times a year drops a magazine, finds a fresh one, and gets back on the sights. The widely repeated &ldquo;under 3 seconds is a pretty good benchmark&rdquo; you will find on carry forums is describing the same population, and in the competition-shooting corners of the internet people practising deliberately report averaging around 2.5 seconds from belt to shot.</p>
