Slingshot vs Thumb Release

[Ky Larry]

I know there is a right way, a wrong way, and the Army way of doing things. What is the U.S. Army's position on slingshot vs slide release? They should have more experience with the 1911 than anyone else. What does the U.S.M.C say? Us Air Force types didn't fire the 1911.

Insert magazine into in-battery empty pistol...rack slide
and release. Do not ride slide forward. Let it fly. Engage manual safety. Step up to the firing line. Disengage the manual safety. Shoot to slidelock, and insert fresh magazine. Thumb release down. Continue to fire to slidelock. Lay pistol down.
Don't shoot the Master Gunnery Sargeant. Don't shoot
yourself. Especially, don't shoot ME!

HOO-RAH!
