[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 3304402, member: 13284"] I would imagine that if dropping the slide on an empty chamber were overly detrimental, there would be more evidence of the damage caused. How many competition guns have 10,000 - 20,000+ rounds through them without issue after being modified to not lock back? There is unneeded stress and wear added to the sear, barrel lugs, and slide stop, but how much more than during live fire is likely not all that appreciable. Regardless, I don't practice it and wouldn't ever advocate it. As others have said it comes off as poor handling...much like cowboying a revolver. [/QUOTE]
