I was taught to Insert a charged mag and then overhand the slide ONLY when initially charging the pistol and preforming a press check. After shooting, and depending if I ran the entire mag or did a "tactical reload", would determine which method I used to drop the slide! If shooting through a mag and then charging with a freshy, it is always the over hand slide release followed by the press check, if doing a T.R. then it's the slide stop method and no press check! I have always found this to be the fastest and easiest to do, especially under stress, and it doesn't matter which pistol I am shooting, nor does it really wear on parts as long as your only doing it on a charged mag, NEVER on an empty chamber/mag removed! I have a few 1911s that have thousands of rounds through them using the above charging methods and there is no real wear to be found, at least no accelerated wear, same situation with my beloved M-92 and IWI 941 series!
