For the M16 the procedure we teach is:
Slap the mag
Pull the charging handle
Observe the chamber
Release charging handle
Tap forward assist
Shoot

Pistols are a little different obviously (no FA) and you operate the slide instead of a charging handle. If you have a double feed sometimes you can just tilt the pistol and the extra round will fall out. Quite often you need to remove the mag and that can be hampered by a round that is halfway in the mag and half out. locking the slide back is a more sure way to deal with a double feed once you identify that as the reason for the stoppage.
