Offhand, I don't remember which autoloaders they are but there are 3 that I have that are really tough to rack a shell due to the strong recoil spring. I use the serrations on those 3.
The overhand / slingshot approaches have the advantage of working on virtually any pistol regardless of the presence / location of slide release. It's a good muscle memory to groove, IMO.

No, but my wife and my children and I do not all share the same preferences in carry guns. For example, my Glock and my bride's Sig P225 have different controls and control locations - it's just a simple statement of fact. I am very comfortable running either (have 3+ decades of experience on each) but I find it useful for my purposes to drill a manual of arms that works equally (by feel, sight unseen) regardless of which one I'm holding at the moment.This isn't a FPS video game where we all run around and pick up found weapons.
Unless it has the possibility of fouling a safety lever like the one on the Beretta 92FS/M9, Ruger P-Series, S&W TDA autos, etc.The overhand / slingshot approaches have the advantage of working on virtually any pistol regardless of the presence / location of slide release.

Which is why some folk (cough, cough) will use front cocking serrations for overhand / slingshot slide manipulations.Unless it has the possibility of fouling a safety lever like the one on the Beretta 92FS/M9, Ruger P-Series, S&W TDA autos, etc.

I guess you and the APX wouldn't get along to good.

LOL ^^ThisHoly jeez... would you like some pistol on your slide serrations?
LOL! Well put!Holy jeez... would you like some pistol on your slide serrations?

Heck no. Rake (Not rack) the slide with the back serrations with three fingers over the ejection port pulling out the offending round in one motion.For those of you who own autoloaders with front-cocking serrations, be honest: do you ever really use them?
Exactly.the use of front cocking serrations has been historically discouraged by trainers because it encourages the placement of the hand in front of / too close to the muzzle for proper safety.
While I agree, I have one pistol with front serrations that only came WITH the serrations.I always object to having a feature I don't want or need -- because it costs money to put those front serrations on, you know.
Well said Vern. I'm in total agreementI always object to having a feature I don't want or need -- because it costs money to put those front serrations on, you know.
You're already out of the realm of the "universal."
