How do you do it?
What's your technique and why?

I do what my instructor tells me to do. If I am not doing it, it is because I am dumb. LOL

My preference: Over the top, weak handed.
As I was taught by an old Army vet. Allows me to maintain stronghanded "normal" grip on weapon while racking, can catch ejected round if clearing weapon, and it feels more natural as I train to reload the weapon with off hand while maintaining same position with pistol in my grip.

Depends on if it's a tactical-vs-combat reload to include some types of malfunction.
TAP-RACK- BANG(squeeze).

Good point Guy. If you go over the top, its pretty much the same movements as for IA on a stoppage, which running out of ammo basically is, a type of stoppage. The other thing is, going over the top is gross motor, where as the release is more fine. And Mr. Harsey already explained what happens to fine motor skills under stress.

Be very careful with this if the round moves in the chamber while you are moving the slide to the rear, the ejector can hit the primer and send that round into your weak hand.
Its best if you rack the slide and let the bullet fall to the ground.
Unless you don't need all of your digits.

Generally use the over the top method, occasionally, depending on the weapon, I like the slide release.

I just saw that "catch the round thing".
Saca, you ever do that on a range I'm running, your chest will be bigger than the Governator of Kalifornia's from all the 8 count pushups you'll be doing.
I hate that shit.

Over the top weak hand.
Over the top weak hand.
This technique in my opinion has proven to be more effective simply because if you do have a stoppage that is protruding from the barrel, the over the top weak hand technique, allows you to clear the stoppage in one sweep and keep the weapon pointed on target. Plus this technique minimizes any part of your hand being caught in the slide action. Just my 2euros worth.

Well, I think the slide release is faster.
