Latest tactical training aside, I hope an alternative to racking the slide with the weak hand is taught for instances when the shooter only has one hand. Dragging it back by scrubbing the rear sight against the belt...or hitting the slide release?
Even if its unloaded, I am reticent to put the muzzle of any firearm against any part of my body. The original manual may recommends the "squeezing" method, but minimal hand strength is required for the empty mag method, and no worries about slipping or skidding. It's as if whoever wrote the old manual didn't realize that empty mags existed.
