Or.......you can use the overhand which utilizes four fingers and your entire hand for strength vs. two fingers. This gives you a single technique to load, unload, speed load, and clear malfunctions. Just sayin......

My wife uses this technique for the exact reasons mentioned above. Easier for her to do it. I usually slingshot, but find myself doing the overhand more and more.

doing the slingshot this way the gun is consistently pointed towards the target. i see some sketchy overhand techniques.

For me, my muzzle is at approx the same angle for both techniques.

Gun up in the workspace with the magwell pointing at approx 8 o'clock and muzzle at 11 o'clock. After the mag load I simply rotate my wrist so the only thing that changes is the magwell orientation moves to 2 o'clock, (muzzle stays the same) for the "sling shot", and my wrist only rotates halfway (magwell pointed away from me) for the hand over slide method.

I just thumb the slide release. Works for me.
