Theres a lot of debate on wether or not allowing the slide to slam home on an empty chamber is bad for it. a LOT of debate. Sometimes I do it, other times I don't but I won't do it to someone elses gun.
According to springfield, both loading a round in the chamber (thats DEFINATELY bad) and slamming the slide home on an empty chamber are bad.
like I said, I only think that chambering a single round is definately bad.
I do know its ok to load a single round in the chamber with the external extractor...
