The only problem I have ever had was prematurely releasing the slide during a reloading drill (no round got stripped and chambered, but I realized what I had done before I pulled the trigger for my next shot), so I had to rack the slide. It all got done quicky enough that only one instructor noticed my mistake. I guess I advocate both methods.
