It takes energy from the forward momentum of the slide to strip a round from the mag, and feed it into the chamber.

Reaper,
I see what you're saying. I'm thinking this also explains the injunction against loading a round into the chamber and dropping the slide on it. When I first read the TS's comments my first thought was the friction of the round in the chamber was slowing the slide down, but that didn't make much sense. The friction of the round being held in place by the mag spring makes much more sense. Thanks for your reply.
