In the sequence of a combat reload, what should you do after replacing the spent magazine?

Re-engage the target with proper grip.

In a combat reload, the priority after inserting the fresh magazine is to regain the ability to engage the threat quickly and confidently. Re-engaging the target with a proper grip means reestablishing a solid firing stance, securing control of the firearm, and bringing the sights back on target so you can resume accurate fire. This keeps you ready and reduces downtime between shots. Putting the weapon down stops the engagement, disassembling is maintenance work not done during a reload, and inspecting the sights is a check that isn’t necessary to perform immediately after a reload.

Put the firearm down and walk away.

Conduct weapon disassembly.

Inspect the sights for alignment.
