I'd
strongly recommend
against doing this.
Life is not a video. You're other hand may not be available. You may be fighting off the suspect with your weak hand. You may be injured. You may be pushing a loved one out of the line of fire. You may see the threat coming and want to covertly draw the gun. "Racking " the slide blows the whole covert thing out the window.
There are a lot of reasons why you should have a gun that's loaded if you are carrying a gun into harms way. Loaded means fully loaded.
This really boils down to proper equipment and training. The friend of the OP was using a knockoff holster. He was competing in a game type environment.
In a real world type environment, there is no rush to re-holster after becoming involved in an incident. Any decent instructor worth the title will teach students to scan for additional threats prior to holstering.
