Hmmm.... I was an firearms instructor with an MP unit (for a short while) also. Maybe your guy was ad-libbing or maybe my memory is bad. Either is a possibility.
Has anyone seen my keys?
The secondary drill, rip the magazine, pull the charging handle/rack the slide, reinsert the magazine, slap magazine, pull the charging handle/rack the slide, tap FA-- if it will make you feel better, and squeeze is basically the same for either an M16 and M9 or any other magazine fed weapon.
I certainly don't have any qualms with the lock the slide back first crowd either. Regardless, it should be instinctive and quick.
However, teaching two mnemonics called SPORTS seems problematic to me.
