It's either a trick or hes catching the side of his body with the slide. You aren't going to get a stock glock to bring back the slide like that. Also may be time lapse photography. Show the empty gun, cut, load a round, and splice it together with an editing program.
"Ninja" Glock reload? How is this possible?

Inertia and light springs for competition. No tricks otherwise.

Alas, even Eric Clapton went "slow hand" in his later years....................
Bruce Lee could deliver a punch with one hand that measured 250 ft. lbs. in a total distance of one inch. Study martial arts and see what is really possible. It's not a parlor trick. I lived in Korea for a while and I saw plenty of things that seemed "impossible".

Super light recoil spring I'd bet.

simple.
very weak recoil spring, fast flick of the wrist, and a lot of stupidity. there's a few vids of mall ninjas doing this.

When I first watched this I thought he had an ND when he holstered but realized later that it was a shot by somebody else on the range.

I'd think that Glock has got to have a lighter-than-normal recoil spring, for the slide to move that easily. (It may not be THAT easy, but it still moves far more easily than any stock Glock I've owned or handled.)
And, the slide doesn't lock back, as you'd expect it to, when the slide goes to the rear (or it does, and he hits the slide release as part of his "Ninja" routine.)

It's just an application of momentum.
(mass of slide+mass of frame)velocity backward = (mass of slide)velocity of the slide cocking movement -(mass of frame)Velocity forwards.
A little math rearrangement: V_slide initial -(mass of frame/mass of slide){(V_slide initial) - (V_frame final)}=V_slide final
This tells me that a heavier frame makes cocking the weapon like this difficult, and a heavier slide makes cocking the weapon easier (which I think explains why it's easy to do on Hipoints, super heavy slide because it's just a lot of mass delaying the blowback).
Whether or not the slide opens is a question of forces, not momentum... if the derivative of the equation (or better yet, a rearranged version of it) above is taken with respect to time (velocity is meters per second, and the derivative of that is acceleration... so F=ma.
Umm... my minimal physics knowledge doesn't tell me where to go from here.
Is it this force being greater than spring force+friction that cocks the gun?
or when sufficient work is done by this force to equal the work required to cock the gun, counteract friction and work done by the spring force...
ANYWAYS; simple test to see if my ideas hold true: anyone want to clamp something rather heavy on their glock and see if this makes inertia cocking easier?

Pretty cool trick. On the first try I cocked the striker on my P99, not nearly enough to load it, and not easily repeated, esp with a fully loaded mag.
As a martial artist, I can apreciate a good demo, light springs(probably) or not. You'd be suprised what you can pull off with enough practice. Crossover skills help too.

The first time I saw this was a Youtube clip from a USPSA match...the use was the shooter started had to pickup an unloaded gun off the table and load it before starting the course, while the other hand was occupied holding a brief case. He later produced a Youtube clip showing him doing the load with a number of different Glocks.
The trick isn't the ability to get the slide moving to the rear quickly enough. It is to be able to stop the rearward movement of your forearm suddenly to allow the slide to continue moving to the rear to the end of it's travel....while you are driving the frame back forward.
There is a loaded magazine in the gun, the object is to chamber a round with one hand

Why would you expect the slide to lock to the rear?Walt Sherrill said:

Re: "It's a light spring"
Read the thread and the hundreds like it. It's been done with a stock spring, stock gun, no tricks.
If you're of the brave type, try it with your gun, but instead of stopping your arm yourself, slam the distal end of your tricep into a wall behind you. I've racked a stock Glock 19 and a stock M&P this way to prove to myself that it's possible.
Now imagine that instead of a wall you have years of martial arts training as well as an generous amount of fast twitch muscle fibers, and you can see that no trickery is needed.

Actually, I think a little bolding might be appropriate here because we have the answer very clearly explained already: How to Perform a One Handed Load by Rob Romero
WATCH THE VIDEO. HE DOES IT WITH MULTIPLE GUNS AND EXPLAINS EXACTLY HOW TO DO IT.
Instead of a wall, he's using the limit of his arm's natural range of motion to provide the "hard stop" he needs to change direction.
And, in his words, "More of a gimmick, than a technique."

I'm just amazed that three other people know what a Cleric is....
Oh, and the trick with the slide was cool too.....
