This is a gaming thing so may not apply at all and take it FWIW:
When I overhand to rack slide (either on load and make ready or unload and show clear), I physically maintain control over the whole stroke back and forth, never letting go.
Instead of “riding the slide” with a release, I push the slide closed manually and feel the round slide under the extractor.
I like this technique because I can control all phases of the open and close and feel and diagnose issues through the movement. It’s like hand cycling rounds.
