I don't think its a positive nor do I think its a negative.

Rather than froth about " religious pistol handling doctrine" and whats right or wrong, simply adapt.

It takes all of what fraction of a second does it take to pull the trigger again? 1/4?

So, if you have it, fail to fire try it. Then into the rest of the drill as appropriate. .

I don't do the tap as I ensure my magazines are seated when I put the defense loads in the gun after shooting and its been tested with charging the gun (I load up full then give up 1 round for less stress on the bullet column) In that case I am ahead of the tap part as I am into the rack the slide.

In cases of where you have changed a magazine in the heat of the moment then yes tap is important.

Like all doctrine, it can be and should be applied to the situation, not blindly followed and failure to do so gets you stoned.
