Wow, the hatred is intense with you. If you have something intelligent to add to the conversation please post it. Name calling is not going to get you very far in life.
Yeah thanks, got that. I'm sure others did not, hence my response. On a side note here's another "tier 1 operator" who advocates using the slide vs the slide lock. It's really interesting discussion and clearly highlights the difference between gamers trying to shave time, and (I hate the term) operators trying to maximize reliability and keep it simple.

At least Shawn Ryan admitted he’s neither fast, nor accurate. He also admitted he never thought about the method of hitting the slide release as he’s reacquiring his grip after the mag change. He wants a simple, consistent method. Not sure why I should care what method he uses, esp when my range use is so much different than his.

Because TDC likes to train to the lowest common denominator and that apparently only top level shooters have the skill to use the slide stop/slide release or else you get killed in da streets.
Good riddance.
lmao
I took a quick look back at his post history and wow... So much negativity. That’s one angry human being.
In all seriousness, Ive actually settled on hitting the slide stop with my thumb off my reloading hand. This ensures that i dont break my grip. And when the slide does drop on reloads im trained to hit it everytime !
Ive tried all the methods and this one seems to work best for me. ( I have nerve damage in both my boob grabbers, and my left booger finger has no feeling. ) I remember one instructor during my CCW training catching that my finger was never indexed in the same place, shows he was paying attention to the students and he had a good laugh when he saw how mangled it was. The remedy was adding a light ( witch I should've had always on my go to pistol) that way my finger just wraps around now and just doesn't stay half way on the trigger guard...
Having the RMR on my pistol made 1 hand reloads a breeze off the belt buckle

TDC also thinks MRDS on a pistol are for gamers. So you're double dead in the streets now with a MRDS and using the slide stop.
Funny how he talks negatively against "gamers" yet is a gamer himself...
Train and use what you are comfortable with, I dont give 2 chits about what others think !. Heck SlaveX showed me a different way to hold my pistol, watched me and took the time to explain what I was doing wrong ! Holy #### that 10 minute of 1 on 1 , was worth the price of admission for that evening. Funny how all the youtube videos I watched and all the " Self Training " never actually do anything for me... lol
My pistol is setup for SHTF and not for high speed ISPC shooting and yet I had a blast and made new friends. Had some new shooters that got better results on DOT torture My RMR must be bad ! lol... But I can see why some people dont like RDS since it covers the whole target when trying to shoot for groups

That's why I send people to Slavex. There is nothing like 1-on-1 instruction, and there is always something to learn. Too bad you missed Vogel when he was here.Train and use what you are comfortable with, I dont give 2 chits about what others think !.

I shoot IPSC and IDPA, and if the SHTF, I sure hope I have a few brain cells running that would make me do mag changes behind cover, rather than standing out in the open going for the fastest static reload I can. lol!
I rented a Range to El Al Security for 16 years, so I can tell you for sure, that is where the carrying chamber empty came from, so many different pistols they, the Isralies "Acquired" sure way of finding that first, and subsequent shots. Rack and fire was the way to go. Now they have gone to Glocks, one up the spout is the name of the game.
Not sure if I have mentioned this here or not?
But when they changed to Glock 17s, the El Al flight that brought the Glock pistols, took the Hi Powers away.
But no Glock magazines were supplied! Because the powers that be in the Israeli Consulate decided to conform to Canadian magazine law, 10 rounds! So the 17 round ones, stayed at home!
Knowing my relationship with Glock GA, they had already been told, by phone, it will take a month!!
Spoke to the boss, in Smyrna. "You cannot jump numbers on the ordering dates, first come first served!"
I explained the dire need. The 10 round magazines were sent, received next day! They were a gift? A cheque was sent, to the Glock Sports Foundation? A donation. Fixed.
The original Browning's still had the magazine cut out in them, would not fire with no mag in place.
The reason they came to me, for renting a range, when the Police Ranges were free? The Cops were watching their range drills! So was I, but what I saw, stayed.
One in particular (this info is over 20 years old!) On command, draw and fire, three rounds at 15 yards, at an SAS Canada Target, run forward, use a funny flat foot halt, and shoot a 4" ballon, taped to the concrete, under the target! Lots of close quarters movement with guns in hand! Not the Gun Club method. They had no ability to carry outside of the Consulate, or Terminal 3. So guns came in bags, in trunks.
Ammo black tip Sub Gun, mil-spec hardball, in 32 round Israeli boxes Which were burnt in the stove prior to Tim Horton lunch! Great Chili. Definitely, guys, you would want on your side in a gunfight!
If an extended slide stop/release is available to purchase and install. Dry fire prior to store, then just looking at your pistol, tells you there is not a round in the breach
because the trigger is in the fired position. And not to be clever clogs? But look up spell check!
