And while I am ranting on my soapbox can someone explain how mashing down with your thumb on a slide release is a fine motor skill? Making a fist or squeezing down is about as gross as a motor skill gets when manipulating firearms. And why do they make it a serrated/checkered lever when they could easily make it an internal feature if we were not supposed to use it to drop a slide?
Exactly.
What it comes down to most of the time is a guy should do what he does best. I've seen guys always slingshot, and they are fast. Real fast. I've seen guys thumb the slide release and they're fast. Real fast.
I personally slam the [bleep] out of the mag into the mag well because 9 times out of 10 the slide goes home for me. And that schit really annoys instructors. But it's hard to say anything when I've already got three rounds down range and the targets already turned again.
"Don't rely on that!" Yeah, sure dude. You can rely on "this." And GFY.
