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.

I only meant to respond to your "you'll never catch me", doing a slide stop release manipulation. I am all for gross motor skills and muscle memory, but in the particular scenerio we are discussing it would be stupid in my opinion to overlook just releasing the damn slide release with the firing hand as the weapon is indexed and presented towards the threat. If an individual does not know how to manupulate the slide release with either the firing or non firing hand they surely have one less club in the bag.
