1)1st gun runs out of ammo
2)swap gun from shooting hand to free hand
3)grab 2nd pistol
4)holster dry gun while continuing to shoot the new one
5)repeat for as many pistols are avalible
that is the process i have personally used in a few games, im just asking if this variant of the NY reload is lacking from say a classic, tactical, or for that matter any other form of reloading. Also i am inquireing if anyother individules use this method?

Apart from the incredible waste of time? It's most likely from some movie-maker's imagination. That technique is not done. Swapping mags is MUCH faster.
If you happen to have two handguns (primary and backup) of usually the same caliber, one gets dropped and the other gets drawn. It would still make no sense since you are technically losing or damaging a gun. No, you dont take the time to holster it. You drop it, and at that point it probably does not matter where it's dropped.
Nobody ever teaches you to let go of your gun unless it's that or die. And when your life is on the line, you dont care about gun damage. Mags can be replaced, the gun... not so easy.
So no, apart from extreme cases, this is not based on any reality. Practically it's an enormous waste of time.
