I'm left handed, I slingshot. Does it honestly matter?
It matters to some people who think that if you don't use their method, you're not tacticool. Also, guns are now being made with ambi controls, so lefties won't have to always use the same method anymore (M&P for example).
I'm dying to hear why the sling shot sucks.
You're SAVED!!!! The slingshot sucks because you're using a smaller surface area (thumb and forefinger) to pinch and pull on a 14-18lb resistance, relying on the friction attained through the small amount of force that you can pinch with, across a potentially slick surface.
I see MANY MANY MANY people screw this up with just a time constraint, not even REAL stress.
If you're going to swear off the slide release , at least use the overhand method and get some more meat on the slide, and use the stronger force that your whole hand can provide.
PS: Nothing says you have to use the pinky and ring finger only for the overhand. The first three fingers work for this method.
