How many times do you rack the slide before being confident it’s not loaded?
I was just watching reruns of live PD and noticed more than once an officer retrieved a semi automatic pistol and racked the slide like 10 times before stating it’s unloaded. If you are in law-enforcement please let us know if that’s protocol. The only time I do it is after placing a drop of oil in each rail. When I was in the Navy we were still using 1911’s. When we took possession of a pistol we were taught to rack it back and visually inspect the chamber. Does racking it back and forth several times serve a practical purpose that I may be missing?

Ten times more unloaded is ten time more saferer.

Drop the mag, lock the slide open, then inspect chamber visually and with finger.
