Slamming the slide on an empty 1911 pistol, often called 'gun abuse,' can cause premature wear and damage. The slide's mechanism is designed for cushioning during firing, aided by the friction of stripping a round. The extractor relies on the cartridge rim for stabilization when entering battery; an empty slide bypasses this crucial cushioning.

Massad Ayoob highlights the critical mistake of not calling 911 immediately after a defensive gun use (DGU). He explains that the first person to call establishes themselves as the victim, while the second becomes the suspect. This emphasizes the importance of prompt legal and communication protocols following a self-defense incident, even when no shots are fired.
