I'd like to see him rack the slide on my P7 without ripping the belt loop off his pants or pulling his pants down.

The simple fact is - with some training or creative thinking almost anything can be done. But, not EVERYONE can do it. And, while there are certainly weapons that have easier slides to maniplute, there are others that aren't - like my HK P7, for example. With a revolver, anyone can do it at anytime. Some may do it faster than others - but there's no slide to rack and no 'creative thinking' that has to come into play. Since that's not the case with every semi-auto...it seems to make sense to me. Now, whether I agree with it or not is a different story...

I didn't make this up - the question was asked in my CHL training course and several people including the instructor brought this up. I'd like to know DPS's reasoning behind it - certainly it's not just operational characterstics of the weapon. There has to be something else to it.

...well, think about this. What if you were incapacitated in some way with one hand/arm - or didn't have a hand/arm. Could you work a semi-auto? Nope. How would you cycle the slide after a mag change? That person could use a revolver though...
