I've seen this topic covered on TFL.com before, but not for quite a while, and Lord knows we have seen too many caliber debates in the meantime. The topic of "how we get our guns back into battery" is due for another ride. Which method is faster? Which is more tactical? Which is more reliable? Which is better?! All these and more will be covered I'm sure!

I have a preference, but as the OP I won't say in the opening thread. Often, I find the vocabulary in this topic to be very important. Is it a "slide lock" or a "slide release lever?" Your answer may say a lot about you!
