Here's an example of why we train, and why we advocate carrying a spare magazine.
A student in today's Defensive Handgun I class was using a Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm. This is a factory mag that has been used, but not abused.
One of the 3 rounds in the magazine tipped upward somehow during one of the shooting drills. That caused the rounds to get jammed halfway down in the magazine. The magazine's floor plate and spring had to be removed to clear the jammed rounds.
