I agree with what several others have posted. I don't have a problem with FCS but I would either rack the slide from underneath or more likely rotate to the left and grasp between thumb and forefinger as in the video posted by spinmove_. The method you are suggesting rates right up there on the old "yikes" meter for me.
Got the new pic. I see the 90 degree. Got it.
I like having one way to rack the slide for admin, tap/rack/assess/reloading/etc. It's not just a safety issue. When clearing a stove pipe, etc it could help clear it(the old sweep idea) but it also could jam the round or casing in there farther. I personally would never do it that way because there is so much possible down side and very little upside. The little up side there is to doing it that way isn't really all that much of a down side to use the rear serrations.
What you do right before you know you're going to be in a use of force incident, often determines the outcome of that use of force.
Yes, that right there. Proctor showed that to my son and I with plain slide Glocks. I never got the hang of it but my son did. Very efficient and safe enough IMO.Originally Posted by spinmove_

He showed us the same method in the class I took. The logic is sound and it's very safe for using the FCS. It can be done even without FCS. However, it should be understood that he only uses this method when loading a round when the slide is in battery.
Okay, I'm a little confused now...why do it that way if it is only for loading vs immediate action?
I would not do that. Ever. Looks like a good way to lose part of your pinkie finger.

I would assume because its faster and you can get back on target immediately. Really is a situation specific method.
That's my question, why would you need to be in a hurry to load the pistol, as in loading prior to going in the holster or preparing to shoot. I'm sure I'm missing something here.
I use forward cocking serrations for chamber verifications. I like them a lot to assist in that application.
The video showed a dud round that didn't ignite. I would imagine using this when you are pulling the trigger on a bad guy and it doesn't go boom. It's a pretty fast method to rack the round out and get the gun going again. You wouldn't use it to actually load the gun from empty.
