The slide(s) are forward on all of my semis as that is how they are stored and I am ready to load them. The slides are usually back on my semis when I am ready to reload them as the slides lock back on empty mags.

Reload on slide lock, "load" ... slide is first locked back so I chamber a round then top off.

It can be either locked back or forward, dependent on whether the gun has been taken from storage or it's been fired to slide lock.
