I don't know about that. In a lot of action scenes when shooting, we see slide go back and you, the audience, think "he's fucked now."

In a scene in Way of the Gun where Del Toro's character put his 1911 under his armpit so he has a free hand to drag his buddy away, and then turns around, grabbing his gun, pointing at the last man standing, only to see that the slide is locked back. That is a perfect example on how a slide locked back can be dramatic in a gun fight.
