Trying to reload from a seated position is a challenge, but this reload was very odd, and I'm surprised he pulled it off as well as he did.
He's a right-handed shooter, yet during the reload, he transitioned to left hand, pulled a mag from his right side, used his right hand to put it in (backwards), then corrected, then transitioned back to right hand. A correct mag/pouch setup would make putting a mag in backwards nearly impossible, so I don't know what kind of setup he was using.
Also, he had to have been looking at his reload to know he was putting it in backwards; otherwise, his muscle memory would have him jamming it in there.

He never should have transitioned the pistol to his off hand - just dropped the mag and slid in a new one. That seemed to disorient him; I think that's why he initially fed the new mag in backwards.
Definitely not the way you're trained to do it. Of course, no one has ever been trying to kill me while I was attempting a reload, so I'm definitely not going to judge the guy too harshly. At the end of the day, it all worked out okay, and he went home alive. That's the most important part.
I'll bet this video ends up being used a training tool.
