A round will not be ejected because there is nothing on the bolt face, all the rounds are still in the magazine.

Thanks for clearing that up debaser... I originally read that to mean that you rack the slide after closing it. Still...I was never taught this way. Seeing that I'm left handed though, I wonder if this would be easier than trying to hit the slide release with my index finger. I'll have to try it next time I'm on the range... Thanx for the tip.
