What bubbadubba damage do you imagine is happening from people manipulating the controls? “Most” new production pistols should be okay. Of course someone can go crazy, but I think there’s a middle ground here between not being allowed to manipulate a firearm at all and going to town for minutes on end.
In terms of dropping the slide on an empty chamber, Brownells did a video on this that seems decent to me.

There’s also nothing stopping you from examining the pistol yourself before you do, or don’t, buy it.
