The Fine as apposed to gross again
If you use the "slingshot" method to release you slide, just make sure you do not ride the slide forward as you can slow it down & cause a malfunction.
Hi Robert14.
Seen that "Ride the slide a lot"
My first carry pistol was a Browning Hi Power, in 1960! hammer down, empty chamber!
Fast forward to 1980, IPSC competition, Colt 45, my fine motor skills allowed me to... with one finger! press the trigger.. thumb to take off safety... even using that same thumb to drop the slide!
One major problem in that competition faze, in I think 1986, missed the safety in a US Nationals, dropped twenty points on a stage! All change, Glock 17, Mil Spec 9mm, shot thousands of rounds of that ammo; and because of my constant use of those two bits on my Colt 45, trigger and slide lock, I continued to use them (still using one digit!)
The first class Revolver to Glock 17 I taught (1987) 6 Instructors for a Tac team, they taught the group from that one day (but book form) class, and I did receive a nice letter after, telling of target rich environment engagements (Successfully completed) 500 + plus rounds each, no slam closed magazines changes, new guns, no malfunctions, none! except the ones I induced by inserting a few empty cases in the magazines!
The class were big, and strong! no problem with the SLL reloading, none, no problem with the malfunction drills using the sling shot, the Israeli tilt left yank straight back way.
Come to think of it, I even take the safety off my 870 with one finger too!
Keep Safe.
