Corrected entry: When Tommy Lee Jones has his gun brought to him in the restaurant, he checks the gun by pulling back the slide. However, rather than letting the slide go, he moves it down by hand. With a Glock, this could result in a jammed cartridge - a man of his characters experience would, first, realize that and second, want to reduce errors when chasing a dangerous fugitive.

Correction: Words like "this could result" and "want to reduce errors" are evident that its not a movie mistake but a character choice and at the most perhaps a character mistake. The way he loads his gun is his preferred method, maybe not the "correct" way but makes no difference.
