Apparently many people seem to ignore that the function of stripping a round out of the magazine and it being pushed into the chamber acts like a shock absorber, slows the slide down, and prevents battering the locking lugs on the firearm. To continually drop the slide of any pistol on an empty chamber isn't a good idea. And it's not good for a semi-auto rifle either. This isn't "babying" a firearm, it's insuring that it's always 100% reliable and functional without cracks in the parts.
