This bad habit will destroy your handgun over time (Slamming slide forward on an empty chamber)
Slamming the slide forward on an empty chamber can cause significant wear and potential failure to a handgun's critical locking surfaces, particularly on 1911 models. This action bypasses the natural deceleration provided by chambering a round, leading to excessive force. Damaging these surfaces can directly impact the firearm's long-term accuracy and durability.
