I think there's a serious risk that the slide won't reliably lock back on an empty mag. Furthermore, you may file off any surface hardening treatment SIG applies to the slide stop notch area, which may cause the notch to become progressively more rounded off, steadily making the problem worse if you and her continue dropping the slide with the stop.

+1. An increasing number of experts advise against using the slide stop and favor the overhand method. I won't claim to be an expert, but I do too.
This factor- plus the CCW-related desire for more snag-free pistols- probably explains why slide stops are getting progressively smaller on newer pistol designs.
