"What you've been taught or told is pretty inaccurate" Well, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. No offense, but is your level of experience and expertise on par with leading LE trainers? Again, I was specifically commenting on the Glock slide stop. Which is a problematic control due to its shape and size. As you might expect, LE training standards and protocols vary quite a bit. But use of the "Slingshot" method for chambering a round with the Glock is widely accepted and fairly standard. It is definitely more positive than relying on the slide lock ...on a Glock. It's what I taught and what I was taught.... and what was recommended by Glock themselves.
