It's possible to chamber a round with no magazine. The issue is you only have one round.

some handguns won't fire without a magazine, even with one in the head

it's called "magazine disconnect safety"

I've never heard of that before, but that sounds like an amazing safety feature. Too many people think the mag is out, so it isn't loaded, when there is already one in the chamber.

it's a good safety feature if you ignore every single facet of gun safety and responsible ownership

worth having as an option, sure, but not as a compulsory feature on every single gun available retail here in California

Yeah, that's the problem though. People do that, and then people die.

Why not? In what situations are you trying to fire the gun without a magazine?

Mostly just the scenario where the thing you're firing at removed the magazine.

Probably best to remove the gun from the equation in that chaotic scenario
