people use the power stroke method because it should be more easily done under stress but if you practice enough then using the slide stop would probably be better. still matter of preferance though.
@TangoDownProduction: Okay, let me preface this by saying I haven't had a whole lot in the way of tactical training, so this may be *way* off base.
Wouldn't the power stroke method take longer since it requires a longer movement? I mean, with the slide stop method, the action takes place on the way down as the support hand moves to its final position, while the power stroke requires a full change in momentum as well as more time in a position which isn't its final one. What gives?
@samuraiBSD The "power stroke" does take about a 1/2 second longer than using the slide-stop. I have been training using the slide-stop rather than the "power stroke" method and actually like it better. Basically, it all comes down to what you are comfortable with. Important thing is...as long as the firearm goes into battery when you release the slide and you are able to get back into the fight, that's all that matters.

Do any of the pistol schools teach the slide-stop technique? All I've ever seen them teach is the overhand/slingshot method. Cool vid.

@jeffshootsstuff Ken Hackathorn teaches that with the 1911.

@jeffshootsstuff Magpul also advocates using the slide stop/release, but the "power stroke" method is also equally acceptable.
