No trick question, Cedertop. Many of you got it and I was especially concerned about my finger being that close to the trigger during reloading. I'm not sure if this is what I normally do, but I'll be paying special attention from now on. That is the recipe for a fatal accident.
Keeping your muzzle on target doubles down on the safety aspect and speeds up the whole reloading process.

finger too close to trigger....i dont think its a huge deal that ur dropping a mag with ammo in it
Your hat is far too cool for the gun you're using.
my were what erice said. BTW I read an interesting article by Duane Thomas in the latest issue of Dillon's 'blue press'. He said that IHO it's faster to 1)drop the partial mag in your hand 2)pocket it 3)draw the new mag 4)reload. His rational is that your hand makes only one trip from pistol-to-belt-and back, instead of two. Likewise, odds are you won't drop a mag if you're only handling one at a time.
HE is dropping a mag with ammo in it. You always pocket that mag and never leave it for the other guys. Rookie.
Where is he keeping the muzzle on the target during the reload?

Wrong.

Not sure what bw is getting at. I teach it almost exactly like Vogel. You want to keep your muzzle roughly in line between your eyes and the target so it just flows back out there, but there is no way you can look your reload in and keep the muzzle pointed at the target.

keeping it generally pointed at the target, not aiming at any particular point.
E.g. the muzzle only comes a few degrees up during the reload, and it doesn't come very far off the target on the horizontal plane.
ETA: A reload is effectively a target transition with some other stuff thrown in. The further the transition, the longer it takes. A 90 degree transition takes longer than a 30 degree transition. The idea is to minimize the unnecessary movement. If you only need to bring the gun 30 degrees offline, and 30 back, it's more efficient than 90 off and another 90 back.
