Understood, but depending on your pistol you can use any protrusion to drop the slide using the rear sight. This is a problem with tritium/novak/meprolight sights. They all lack an edge in which you can catch the rear sight on. Use the pocket/ pocket flap on your rear to do this. If kneeling use the heel of your boot or shoe. The possibilities are not as hard to come by as you'd think. Like I said, know your limits and practice, practice, practice.
My recommendation is to give it a try, use inert training rounds (snap caps) and maintain muzzle awareness when doing so. I can do it with my H&K's, my Sig 229, and my Colt 1991A1. The Kimber is a bit of a challenge but still doable.
