I was at my local gun shop yesterday. The fellow behind the counter was showing several XDM's and XD's to some potential customers. Prior to handing them the pistol, he would lock the slide back (they all had magazines in them) and then proceed to thumb the slide release and let the slide slam home on an empty chamber. I casually mentioned that I didn't think that was a good thing to do and he got defensive and said that he does it all the time and it never has caused a problem, as that is only a concern on 1911 pistols.
What do you all think? I hate when I see that, I think it is unnecessarily harsh on the firearm.
