Tater,


In a confrontation, "pulling and racking" the slide will give you away and direct hostile fire onto you pronto! Keep in mind another bad guy MAY be behind you. IF you intend to shoot a bad guy, you will have better chances of surviving by releasing the safety and firing.

Secondly, if it appears you may need to use your gun, you must rack the slide to be in a positioin to fire. On the other hand, if your gun is ALREADY chamber loaded, you can decide to fire or not without anouncing to everyone that you are armed.
