I hold the pistol upside down, grip facing up in my Right hand holding the slide with right hand over the ejection port. I push the rear of the grip forward with my left wrist/forearm, to eject the round and have it fall into my right hand before slowly releasing pressure on the grip I pushed to make the frame go forward (I only have a right hand)
Thanks for sharing this, I'll be even more cautious making sure the round is completely clear in my hand before slowly letting the frame/slide return rearward on empty chamber.
(Whether it is fully in battery or not on an empty chamber... who cares? Slow is safer/better sometimes.)
