When I began shooting autos, I always had a problem w/ releasing the slide after reloading. On my first auto (Tok 9mm), the slide release was almost impossible to release w/ either hand when you had a firing grip. My next auto (Taurus PT-908) was easier, but still easy to miss when reloading for speed.
About that time, I read an article about one PD's training program. One of the things taught was to release the slide a-la Walther-style (grasp the rear of the slide, pull back, & release). One of the advantages was speed and the ability to be used on any model of auto. I started practicing this method & found it advantageous. My speed improved, and I never had to change my firing grip. I've used this on Glocks, SIG's, & 1911's w/ success.
Out of curiosity, I was wondering how many THR's use either of the two methods & why. Any other Walther-styles out here?
