        I’m not the author or an expert or anything. But I’m fairly sure the joke is about how his license expired and she just made him realize she’s a witness to murder.

        I read it as he’s performing a press check in preparation for shooting the person next to him.

        Presumably, Bond did a bunch of shooting to get to the point where the comic starts. The gun is potentially dirty enough where failure to feed or extract may be happening. A simple push of the slide back enough to verify that he’s got a live round chambered might save him from having to resort to other methods to silence the other person in the comic.
