Like Bondock I was taught to slingshot, because of gross motor skills, but from shooting IDPA it is so much faster to just hit the slide release. I only hope it sustains me if I ever "do battle".

I use the slide stop. I have been using it since I first started shooting Glocks 17 years ago.
At least us lefty's are consistent. Over the top slingshot. Left index finger to release the mag while going for the fresh one with my weak hand. Don't have to break my grip at all. It's all over pretty quick.
Many would dispute to not look at the pistol while in a reload.
The only time I think it would be a good idea is if you are tracking more than 1 bad guy. The last thing you want to do is lose sight of your threat.
Tracking? So multiple bad guys(since you haven't shot at last one), is a great idea to look at your pistol during a reload? Why are you reloading if you're simply "tracking" and haven't shot?
Multiple threats, if you're not running around dodging during a malfunction and concentrating looking at your reload, you're doing it wrong.
Yeah you're right of course. How silly of me...
