Default Denziel Washingon saved my life(bullet setback)

I was watching the movie Man on Fire and I was at the scene where the character Creasey was attempting suicide and when nothing happened, he racked the slide to see the round. For some reason that made me do the same thing to my 1911, which was in the room with me at the time. I picked it up, ejected the mag and cleared the chamber and then when I got a closer look at the round, I noticed it was seriously set back into the casing and I know what could happen if I had shot it. Serious malfunction or even serious damage to my gun. If I had to use the gun right then, my gun could have potentially failed on me.

So yeah, watching an action movie might have possibly saved me the trouble or even my life.
