#1 who reported there were "extended mags" .... at the scene of the shooting?
#2: who said he was "reloading" .... "mags" ....?
As of the last report by LE ... the officers at the gun fight have not made any public statements and they had not been thoroughly debriefed ... nor were all rounds from either side identified and inventoried.
That's SOP. Especially after all audio/video is examined and compared to what has been said and reported as having happened. That takes weeks, if not months, depending on the number of sources.

I merely mean to say that IF he used magazines with greater capacity that normal for a common 45 caliber, he would have been given no advantage. The time it takes to switch out a magazine, of any size, isn't that long.
No one said anything about reloading. However, we can make an educated guess. 45s are huge rounds. I don't know of any double stacked magazines. A 1911 type 45 has 6 or 7 standard, I believe. There may be some 45s with slightly greater capacity but not much. So, IF he did not have an extended magazine, given the number of victims, he would have needed to reload at least once. Either way it wouldn't have made a difference.
