Not you, but the idea of easing the slide forward will not rack another round is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard...

I didn't say that it wouldn't 'rack another round', but that it wouldn't lockup completely.

If the weapon is a fraction of an inch out of battery, the internals won't line up well enough for the firearm to discharge.

This can happen in any situation where the slide doesn't have enough energy to fully close, such as if the shooter has a limp wrist or grips the weapon too low on the frame, if the recoil spring is weak, or if the gun is dirty.
