I like the extended slide release from Wilson. While the slingshot is the preferred method for reloading, the extra leverage this provides is nice to have
On a one way range with a M9 your slide was usually locked back as you walked onto the range. Rolling outside of the wire the slide was typically forward, you could lock it back but none of our magazines were empty at that point
To clarify my previous post the slingshot is my preferred method. Now, sometimes it was just easier to just thumb the slide stop. To make that as easy as possible when I need it to work most of my pistols do get enlarged slide stop levers if the OEM ones are too small. As you mentioned the Glock one is pretty small, that is one of the first things I do to my Glocks.
You are correct, different manual of arms. The M9 wasn’t bad really, a lot of the early problems seem to have been ammunition related. The beat down and worn out ones would disassemble themselves if you shook them a certain way. A newer one would be good to go though.
I was taught to do both by my NCO’s back when I was just a dumb private. It stuck and was there when it was needed. Made sure that my joes had it ingrained both ways.
Anyways, here’s what the M9 book said about it.
