Folks can be vary passionate about this subject when it comes up. I have no problem using the over-hand or the slide stop method depending on the design of the pistol. Some pistols do not have a slide stop that lends itself well to releasing the slide...like a Glock for instance. Others, like the Beretta 92/M9, 1911 are the opposite. In fact, attempting to over-hand the M9 brings it's own problem...the risk of inadvertently placing the gun on safe. I also don't buy into the "Gross Motor Skill" idea because you are still expected to operate safeties and press magazine releases so how is that any more difficult?
The bottom line...go out and test all methods on the clock and as some have mentioned, in different environments to see what works best for you with your chosen equipment.
