In order to insure the gun is completely unloaded you first have to remove the clip and then rack the slide to remove the bullet that's in the chamber.
Terry Kath killed himself by not doing the 2nd step. He removed the clip, told his buddy "see it's not loaded", and then put it to his head and pulled the trigger.

I'm pretty ****ing sure semi-automatics don't need to rack the slide. Just pulling the trigger does that on its own. That's kinda one of the things that makes racking the slide for the sound bite in movies so dumb sounding.
