The only rationalizations for racking the slide I've heard have been:
(1) the technique will work with any gun (think: battlefield find and you're not familiar with that particular gun). I don't know that I truly agree with that simply because it seems awfully far-fetched. I've gotten in a gun fight, run my gun and all my reloads dry, still want to fight instead of run like hell, found a dead guy who still had his gun on him...but it's empty...but oh lucky day! he has spare ammo on him...but now I can't figure out how to drop the slide other than by racking the slide...yeah...what are the chances? Honestly. C'mon man...
(2) Instructors in Concealed Handgun Classes teaching (suggesting) the technique because they simply don't have time to teach each and every shooter how to operate their specific weapons on the range, given the variations in guns, hands, finger strength and length, etc. This seems much more plausible to me.

What really gets me is a instructor that thinks his way of doing something is the ONLY way it should be taught, those are the instructors that cheat their students..
I've got a gen 2 Glock 32 that sometimes releases the slide when I slap the new mag into the well - not a bad thing - or is it?
