If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. I’m no "expert gunfighter", but I have a brain; and it seems like eliminating the tap saves an insignificantly small amount of time, while keeping it may eliminate the need for the relatively much longer rack to get the gun back into action.

But I confess that I don’t really train on failure drills. I just execute them if I have a malfunction (which is very rare)....so I’m probably not very fast when doing them. OTH:

1. I carry Glocks, and I properly maintain them. They’re not perfect...no mechanical device is. But they’re as close to 100% reliable as any gun is going to get in the real world.
2. I only use ammo that I’ve run through the gun in practice, verifying that it functions reliably in the gun.
3. I always carry at least one spare mag—not because I expect to need upwards of 30 rounds, but because of the probability of a failure being magazine related.

That’s probably not a gunfighter's attitude, but like I said at the top, I’m not an expert gunfighter, and I don’t pretend to be one. I should probably train more, and I have a standing invitation to do so with someone not too far away. So I’ll probably take advantage of that soon.
