I think they made the point, somewhere, that the advantage(possible) of closing the gun butt first keeps the muzzle down and under better control than closing it by moving the muzzle up and possibly around. I tried it too, and found it rather awkward. In any case, my real point is that while the gun was closed respectfully, there was NO lever riding involved. I do not understand why lever riders insist on calling anything else "slamming"? I don't slam guns, car doors, house doors or anything else closed. They all close more securely if their spring-loaded bolts are allowed to close as intended. I don't hold the top levers or the doorknobs, unless mi esposa is sleeping. I've never had a gun or a door go off face at my hands.
