I have good news to report here: I have two hands, so no worries there
Both of your hands need to be free to use them. Racking a slide requires both, therefor you give up your ability to protect yourself while drawing and racking.

Pulling a gun in the throws of hand to hand combat is something you would need to try yourself, not hear from someone but actually try it. I can tell you that it's not going to be as easy as you think.
If the act alone of drawing a gun in a stressful situation is as difficult as you claim, then drawing and racking the slide will be that much more difficult. There are 0 benefits to your methods and dozens of drawbacks.

A gun in a fist fight belongs to the strongest man no matter who is wearing it.
Strongest should be replaced with smartest. Technique and ability to act in accordance trumps pure strength. After years of wrestling, the one thing I learned was that strength only gets you so far, it is your technique, training, and a little bit of luck that comes through when you need to get the job done.
