However, if he shows up w/a 17 round mag, topped off, I'll ask him to remove 2 rounds. After we empty that mag, I only load 5 at a time. (Course, I only have 3 students on the line - max.)
I do NOT like to use the command "FIRE". I used to use 'BANG' but went to a LFI course and they used the command 'GUN' so I switched. :) YMMV :)
What's wrong with FIRE! ?
In a crowded theater someone yells "fire" you don't want to start shooting.

I 'heard' about a police agency that used the whistle as a command to fire in training. One day, at a riot, someone blew a whistle..... :(

Does the name "Pavlov" ring a bell?

I am surprised to see so many of you who don't do it that way.
Is there any guidance on this from DPS?
Did you load one round at a time the instructor course?
The shooting is a proficiency test not a beginner’s class.
