I don't own one, but I believe you have to pull the trigger to release the hammer for field stripping and removing the slide to clean them, kind of like you do with a Kahr.

If you don't drop the magazine and clear the chamber several times as a routine safety precaution and pull the trigger you can fire a round through negligence, not "accident".

That also violates safety rule #2; "Never point the muzzle at anything you don't wish to destroy".

"Cleaning the Gun" is also a frequently used euphemism used to cover suicides as well. Especially among police.
