Well, there will always be "safety speak" like that, to lessen liability.
Probably everybody's handgun manual says that; most warn against a gun discharging if dropped, even those that can't possibly, and have passed the Mass/Cal drop tests.

Believe me, I don't care how you chamber the first round.

But it's quicker to use slide release with new mag in competition shooting, weak hand pops new mag in, shooting hand thumb hits release before weak hand could even get up to the slide to rack it.
