Chance of flipping it and it exploding is not any higher than slowly racking the slide back.
I'm all for people disagreeing with the technique for multitude of reasons, but don't spread misinformation.
But that's not really for this thread. There's a multipage discussion of that over at Enos.
*edit*
And it looks nice. Particularly here.
looks great but they frown at muzzle over the berm around here
Lol.......good one

Its to bad they are disbelievers John but we know better.
Agreed but if you look close no mag in the gun. And she looks hot so you and I both know hot girls do what they want lol

Name one instance where a round in mid air has detonated in front of someone's face.

Well I took the explodinging in the air thing as hyperbole???
I thought the point was that an accidental detontation can occur while manually ejecting a live cartridge: therefore it is a good idea to keep all our appendages and digits away from the ejection port until the round is clear of the gun.
That's how I took it anyhow.

I think her technique would be vastly improved here if she were wearing heels.
I have seen rounds go off when unloading, all .40 STI/1911 platform guns. In every case the shooter was not flipping but attempting to let the round fall and in every case the shooter still received a minor injury to his digits. Flipping te round is no more likely to cause it to happen, and for some reason based on what I've seen less likely to happen (I don't know why, I've just never see one go off when flipping but I have seen it when trying allow the round to drop) and the round won't magically go off in the air, if it were to go off it would happen in the same place with the same exposure of the shooters body parts (ejection port and fingers) so to say its more likely or even possible for it to cause more injuries is just false.
When racking quickly, the round is more likely to be held firmly in position by the extractor, meaning the ejector will hit the case head as intended. When racking slowly to get the round to slowly drop out, the whole idea is to have the extractor lose its grip on the round, letting it fall. This opens you up to the possibility of the round being oriented in such a way that the ejector can strike the primer, causing an out of battery detonation.
The trick with the Tangfo's is getting them to go bang when they should go bang....hehe
Are you being serious? I'm just reading through some of these posts trying to get more info on competition shooting. Your answer completely contradicts how we were trained for duty carry. If you did the sling shot method on the range you got #####ed out, it was always palm over the slide as the OP stated.
I would get frustrated with the "un training" I'd have to do
