Is there a way to pull back the slide to check if there is a round in chamber when a loaded mag is in the gun, without the nozzle pushing another round into the already occupied chamber after you let go of the slide?
I heard somewhere that in real steel, if the hammer is cocked, you can pull back the slide and check the chamber, and it won't load the next round if the chamber is occupied. Either that or there are loaded chamber indicators on certain guns.
It just seems kinda silly to always have to release the mag first, after seeing there's already a round in the chamber.
