This story might make you feel better.

I was taught how to shoot by a friend of mine; she worked as an armorer for her national guard unit.

We were out in her back yard, she was preparing to show me the basics. We had just gone over the 4 rules, and she was going to show me how to make sure the pistol was empty. We were working with her Glock.

she dropped the mag, and had the slide held back.
"You always want to drop the mag, and hold the slide back, that way you know nothing's in the chamber. Now i'll show you how to take the weapon down so you can clean it. Now that we know it's clear, we pull the takedown thing here, and we have to let the slide go and pull the trigger *BANG*"

Apparently, her extractor didn't get the last round out and it was stuck in the barrel.
