Tap magazine, Rack slide, and Bang. Tap, Rack, Bang this is a common drill to use to figure out why your firearm did not go boom when it should have!
In semi auto firearms the magazine and ammunition are 2 of the weakest links. Making sure your magazine is fully seated and extracting the round that did not fire is a good start!

A couple of things I've heard on the TV ...
DW fired 12 rounds.
The pistol had a 13 round capacity.
I don't know if either is true or fact.
Did DW eject a loaded round and did he keep shooting until he ran out of bullets?
Not that it matters. It was a justified shoot.

IMO the slide rack was a reversion to training
tap, Rack reassess,
My money was it ws out of battery and he did what he was trained to do

My money was it ws out of battery and he did what he was trained to do And that training worked, and perhaps saved his live. That's another reason I like to have extra rounds, you never know when you might have to leave a couple live one's the ground.
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.

I learned a lot duck huntin' with an auto at a very early age. When you have a failure to fire ... cycle the bolt. It became second nature.
