I was going to ask that too.
Any form of military anywhere in the world should have a familiarization course in handguns depending on who gets one when deployed. But LEO everywhere are always issued with pistols, semi auto or some countries still issue revolvers. How is it that you can be in a "Law Enforcement Reserves" without any courses in handguns. What country's law enforcement only have M16s and MP5s?
That aside
to answer your question.
Pressing the slide stop or racking the slide when reloading depends on personal preference and your gun. I would recommend in training both style for different handguns. Guns like Glocks and stock 1911s have the slide stop far away from the right hand so you would need to really stretch, or push down hard to get it down, so it would be best to rack. Some guns like my XDM have the slide release very close and when I reload, I simply press down. It depends on your training. A lot of LEO instructors in America teaches to rack the slide because of gross motor skill. In stress, grabbing and pulling a large object is easier to train into a man than muscle memory of pressing a button
