Another method available to you is if you've just engaged someone with your pistol, and you have to move into another room or area. You know that you still have rounds left in your pistol, but the number of rounds are in doubt. You perform what is known as a tactical reload.
Keep your pistol trained on the threat area and with your non shooting hand, retrieve a fresh magazine. Bring the fresh mag up to your pistol and by the inside of the pistol grip. You're holding the bottom of the new mag by your thumb and your first finger, with the mag facing up and the rounds facing away into the threat area. Activate your mag release with your shooting hand and allow the partially spent mag to fall into your non shooting hand. Quickly replace with your fresh magazine and store the partially spent mag into a pocket for later. Give the magazine a quick insurance tap and you are good to go.
This allows you to recharge your weapon quickly without having to rack the slide and rechamber a round. Even in airsoft, seconds count, and this method can assure you a quick recovery back into your gunfight. I hope this helps.
