When releasing the slide on a semi-auto handgun that is in the lockback position, not counting guns like a CZ52, small pocket autos, etc. that don't have a slide release, do you:
Slingshot: Use the support hand to pull the slide back and release it
Strong side thumb: Using the thumb of the hand that holds and fires the gun
Support side thumb: Using the thumb of the hand that is not holding the gun
Other: Which way if none of the above....
I have a CZ52 and a couple of small semis that don't have a slide release and those are the only ones I use the Slingshot Method on.
If dropping the slide just to chamber a round before putting the safety on and then holstering or just casual/target shooting I use my strong hand thumb. If speed loading where shots are going to continue to be fired after the slide is down then as I slam the magazine home I just roll my support hand up to the shooting position and drop the side with the tip of the support hand thumb...
....and you Lefties...what works best for you?
Just wondering what works for you and why...
