I've done this trick, too; I wouldn't say I could do it reliably, maybe 25%-30% of the time. I certainly wouldn't want to count on it working. However, you don't have to be Jet Li.

But pushing the slide slightly out of battery disables the M9 and its clones from firing (trigger disengages), which may buy you a second or two to draw and fire.

There are ways to keep somebody from doing this to your weapon. They are worth learning, and not all that hard to learn.
