Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Slide lock or slide release?

I use the "slide stop lever" (which is what Glock calls it) on my Glock 19, activated with my strong hand (right hand) thumb.

For 1911's, I release the "slide stop" (as named by St. John Browning), with my weak hand (left hand) thumb.

I used to slingshot everything but found it was a smidge slower.
