For a Speed reload (Gun go's dry and you have to insert a new mag) Is it better to reach over the top with the weak hand and rack the slide to chamber a new round (Like most Glock users) or use your weak hand to hit the slide release as you bring your hand up to re-grip the pistol after inserting a fresh Mag. My muscle memory has me reaching over the top with the weak hand and pulling back on the slide to release it and chamber a new round. I want to stay with what I know already, but it feels weird reaching over the top on a 1911. What is the preferred method of the two, or is it user preference???

K:
I was a drop the slide release kind of guy till recently.
I am currently trying to change to the pull the slide fully to the rear and let it go to streamline the muscle memory for stoppages and reloading. I elieve it is slightly slower, but more reliable and simpler.
Change is hard.
