I read that along time ago but have never looked up the cartridge/chamber dimensions to see how much crud would have to be built up in the chamber to cause problems.

Have YOU ever found fault in using the slide release?
Be honest.

What extra inertia? From slide lock to the slide fully to the rear is what....1/8" of an inch? Compressing that spring 1/8" of an inch is what makes the difference? Give me a break.
How to release a slide is by far the best litmus test to separate actual shooters from the rest of the pack.
If I remember correctly that extra 1/8 inch also helps if you get a maximum length cartridge.

Only when trying to shoot a sig pistol fast. I hit the decocker instead. It's not really a issue but it burns time.
The only other thing is some people don't have the hand strength to operate the slide release (elderly, some women and probably some democrats).
I slingshot because that was how I was taught when I was first taught to shoot shoot semi-autos. I was told it'd wear out the slide stop to use the slide release. Wether that is bullshite or fact is moot.
But, it works on any pistol. I've messed around with the slide release and (for me) it IS faster. But it's retraining muscle habits, and I haven't yet mastered it. And the slide slide release isn't in the exact same spot on all the pistols I shoot, let alone all the ones out there you may end up using.

Get real.
That's a lack of familiarity and nothing else.

No, I can find the slide release and press it down. I have not tried to hit one in 20 years though.
I've seen too many people perform both, very efficiently, and using the slide stop is ALWAYS faster.
80% of the time, it works.
Every time.

Men, I'm no pistolero, but try to practice in purposefully adverse conditions, super cold fingers, rain, sweat, work gloves, weak side, etc, the slide releases on Glocks and my Sig 226 are next to non-existent, I can always give the slide a hard yank.
With my AR's I do bang the slide release with the palm of my hand just in front of my wrist, have never been to Thunder Ranch etc.
If anyone has a link to what could be considered the proper or correct method for a Lefty to invoke the slide release, I would be grateful.
I consider myself never to old to learn the right way of doing anything.
Thanks, LD
I don't know if this video is the proper or correct way to run a slide release lever for a lefty, but the fellow demonstrating the Ghost bullet forward shape extended release seems to have total control and speed.

How many of you regularly (or seldom) carry different brands of handguns for SD--assuming you're not LEO and prefer something other than your issue?
I'm not talking throwing a J frame or LCR in the pocket; I mean you switch up between various semi-autos as your CCW.
While I have different brands, once I settled on the Glock as my CCW I set them all up the same (sights, release, trigger kits, etc) just so I would have maximum familiarity. I also practice with them far more than my other autos and only carry the Glocks for SD so I don't need to worry about a 'different manual of arms' when/if the fan and feces ever collide....
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
