Why are almost all training manuals and videos recommending that the slide release not be used when closeing the slide after a mag change? I don't mean to be ignorant, but I use the slide release at the range often and never had a FTF or any issues with it. Would it not be quicker to use the slide release in a real life situation and grab the slide for a back up?

Just a why, no real value to this post..........

Thanks,
