I've always used the 'tap-rack-bang' for all but a double feed. Even a stove pipe can be cleared with the TRB.

For a double feed I rip out the mag and let it drop, rack the slide fore and aft 3 or 4 times, insert a fresh mag (one of the reasons to carry a spare mag!), and rack a new round in.

I do suggest though, except for the TRB, get behind cover before doing any gun clearing.
