Thanks guys! I looked up that article and it did help a lot with things like hand placement. I ran a couple practices tonight. Check clear, load two magazines with snap caps, load magazine one, rack from uncocked, fire, rack, fire, rack, reload, slide lever, fire, rack, fire, rack, check clear, decock.

Although I wasn't fluid by any means I was able to do all of the above and when my technique is good do it without too much thinking. I recall one time in particular I was really struggling with the slide, changed my angle and pushed just a bit with my right hand, and racked it before I knew I had done it.

Now that I have a little more psychological control I feel better. I wasn't afraid of hurting the gun but I was afraid of "railroading" or getting my fingers caught in the port. I'm a musician so my fingers are important to me. Once I found a good spot clear of these dangers and let some of the worry go I got better.
