I too recommend using the "slingshot" method. It is a slide lock, and not a slide release, use it accordingly.

I have the same issue with my XD9SC - the slide release can be stiff / hard to use at times. I also prefer the slingshot method - it's quick and easy - don't be afraid to use it!

I just got my XD9SC on Friday and I concur it is quite stiff. I am hoping the spring will loosen up a little. I have been playing with it while watching tv trying to loosen it up and it already seems to be doing just that. It just needs to be broken in. I haven't shot it yet (which is pissing me off) but I hope to run it though a couple hundred rounds this week.

will break right in
I thought the same thing since I had to use both thumbs. As soon as I loaded the full mag into the gun it was much easier. I've only shot a few hundred rounds through it and don't have any trouble. The sweetest gun I've ever shot!
