You react the way you were trained (proven fact)

The reason LEO's are taught to drop the mags is you react in stress the way you were trained.
Example 1 A cop actually reached down to pick up his speed loader in a g-fight .
Example 2 A off duty LEO was robbed while trying to withdraw from an atm. He disarmed the robber and handed it back towards him as they did in training.Luckily the robber thought he was nuts and took off running.

Aren't all facts, by nature, proven? :p

Don't know? It was proven. The examples above really happened. A cop picked up his speed loader in training and in battle. The other cop who would disarm and hand weapon back in training did so in real life as well. ( when really attacked).
