Default Shield 9mm Sear Lever

I have ordered my Shield 9mm (waiting on S&W to fix the latest recall issue), and have been reading the manual and watching YouTube. During field strip, S&W Manual says to manually manipulate the sear lever which allows the slide to be removed. I have seen others on YouTube pull the trigger to release the slide rather than manually using the sear lever. When pulling the trigger to release the slide, I notice a definite mechanical 'jump' in the slide as it is released. Question: is this really good for the slide release mechanism? Again, I don't have mine yet so I do not know how difficult or cumbersome it is to manually manipulate the sear lever rather than just pulling the trigger. Comments appreciated.

The jump is the forward motion of the striker, after pulling the trigger. This has been fully discussed recently:
