I usually have my thumbs fairly close together. Short thumbs doncha know? This time out I tried the grip as it is shown in the RIA video.



Guess there's a chance my thumb was putting pressure on the slide. Going to pick up the pistol and try it my normal way and see how it goes.

Good luck my friend! Where do you shoot? Lets get in a range day sometime, if my current ammo supply allows!

There are a number of ranges around here with bans on reloads in South Florida. One that I shot at had a blown up revolver as their reason. Most here allow you to bring your own, along as its not steel core (the place I like best uses a wand like TSA to check your ammo, but they allow reloads).

There is a place nearby that I've never gone to that requires you to buy their ammo. It's why I don't go there. Also most of the places I've rented guns at require you to buy their ammo.
