With a Glock it is simple to avoid this, actually forestall it for hundreds of re-chamberings. You can safely "ride the slide" of a Glock to feed a round into the breach of your Glock**. The extractor comes up under the case rim instead of slipping over it when the slide runs home. Add to this the fact that the Glock magazines are positioned to have nearly a dead on straight path into the breach and you can save rounds from experiencing bullet setback.
I have done this countless times with my primary carry gen3 G23 and have yet to have bullet setback occur. Each time I carefully check the round I am chambering to make certain there is no setback before I chamber it.
** Note. Some pistols do not work well with this and I know of one brand that specifically describes how you must chamber a round in their guns. Glocks do this with ease.... many do not.
