Yes, some pistols do require pulling the trigger to remove the slide, which is why it's extremely important to clear the chamber and be 1000% sure there is no round anywhere in or near it.

Rule 1: Assume the gun is loaded at all times

Rule 2: Never point it at something you wouldn't want a bullet going through

Rule 3: Finger OFF the trigger unless you're prepared to shoot

Also, if you're going to pass a gun to someone else, clear it and show them that it's clear. If you take a gun from someone else and they don't prove to you that it's clear first, check to make sure it's clear. NEVER trust. ALWAYS verify.
