At that point, you can top off the weapon, if you so choose. If you're down to only a revolver, topping off quickly makes sense as you only have a total of 6 rounds. Don't conflate police and military tactics.

2022-12-15 15:54:13 +0000 UTCDid Dirty Harry ever comment on his revolver having sufficient "ooots"? XD On the topic of selective extraction having value, you may want to survey cops of the 1950's-1980's, as well as the literature of their day to see if they actually did such things. If "Magnum Force" is an accurate representation, the drill seemed to be shoot two three-shot bursts and do a complete reload. A key element of any tactical topping off is that you should no longer be in a major hurry when doing one, so the question would be just how important the design of the gun helping the process out actually is.
