A double feed is a very different type of malfunction essentially there is a round in the chamber and a second round trying to be fed in behind it.
My experience over an array of pistols is that this does a fairly good job of causing the mag to be locked up. By pulling the slide back the pressure holding everything in place is released. The slide is locked back so that one is free to use their hands to strip the magazine out while that pressure is released. One might be able to hold the slide back and hit the slide release and shake the mag out. It is going to be harder one handed. It is probably harder with a heal release. One handed and with a heal release I imagine is even more difficult still. Perhaps there is a technique I am unaware of though. Is this the type of jam you are saying the mag still falls easily? If so I wonder if that is typical for the R9/RS9.
One would think that those carrying the R9/RS9 every day would have done this drill a sufficient number of times to be able to give some insight. If not perhaps some of the posters on this thread would set up a double feed (with snap caps) and try clearing it, and also doing it one handed, I would be interested in the results. This is the type of drill that should be practiced fairly regularly.
The slide stop is the main reason I advise the LCP over the P3AT. I'm surprised how often people think the slide stop is a pointless feature because it has no last round feature.
