Judging by the picture no. Covering the ejection port is a bad idea. Was this a test?
Jesus ****ing Christ, are you still wrapped around the pole about ****ing ADVERTISING AND PRODUCTION COMPANIES? The NRA DOES NOT , I REPEAT DOES NOT, do the photography for these publications? What the actual **** are you trying to prove?
This thread was to be enlightening and educational for those that might use this method to charge their chambers. Shameful it was hijacked.
If you knew everything, you’d already know what he was talking about?What might be more helpful would be to actually explain the "wrong" action that you find so egregious, rather than continuing to post vague one liners and a photo with no context while expecting the rest of us to guess as to the alleged offensive action.
If the goal is to help others learn, providing the example along with an explanation with what you feel is the proper technique might aid in the education process.
I'm not sure why you feel a two word OP would be "enlightening and educational."
Trying not to break Rule #1, but sometimes...Relax guys.

the OP was quick and educational and with no personal attacks and for those that can’t see it well... maybe some learning can be did. I’m sure many do not charge their firearms like this.
I looked at the thread earlier when it was just the OP, and my first reaction was "Huh?". There was no context to illustrate the meaning of the photo.
Without context guess I have a hard time seeing this as major issue.
Would this method be recommended to clear a malfunction during an active gun fight? Probably not. But is it appropriate as a technique for someone with weak hands who has trouble working a slide and is loading a round into the chamber before sticking the gun in a holster or nightstand? Sure.
If there is no round in the chamber then there's no round to eject, so putting a hand over the ejection port really doesn't matter. And yeah, I get the whole muscle memory argument; train like you plan to fight and all that.
I think encouraging discussion is great, but without context, but IMHO a two word post does little to achieve that goal.
using the method in the picture over learning a better way unfortunately happens every day. There is a process, it can be taught to charge easily. Good trainers teach it every day.
How would you describe the picture and commentary in the OP Trapper Jim?
With lots of detail please.
