Again, it's not a end all be all solution. But it does have its place. Again, another tool in the tool box sort of thing

EDIT: but were talking about a situation that you might shoot 1 million rounds and never actually see a round require 2 strikes to go bang unless its a gun problem. the scenario is so rare it shouldnt even be considered in training in my personal opinion. so as far as im concerned when my sidearm goes down. wether it be M9, glock or what ever.. im tap racking to try and fix the problem.
if you think a second strike may fix the problem then you must incorporate the multiple strikes into every malfunction you ever have with a pistol... you must now strike strike tap rack... because you arent going to train to tap rack and then a guys on you and suddenly you rise to the occassion and do something youve never practiced. so once again..its way to rare a problem and scenarion to even consider training for it. it will make you over all less effective. you sacrifice all other situations to make one very rare one better.

Yes its a very unlikely scenario, on the same not its also highly unlikely you will ever even need to pull your gun. On the off chance, you one day do need to pull your gun the chance that 1 in those next 30 or so rounds is going to fail is most likely 1-1,000,000 aswell. From what I have seen any failure with a modern pistol has about the same likelyhood as the next. This is provided the operator of the weapon does do routine maintence, and replaces parts in a timly manner. Also provided the operator of the weapon is using a know to them quality ammo
And why the hell would I have to incorporate it in every malfunction drill? Just like I'v been saying. Its a specific thing for a specific problem. That being for when the BG is to close to do a tap rack and pull. With the very quick examples I gave earier, all I was getting at is in a typical self defence scenario it's likely you wont have time for a tap rack and pull. In those instances, should you have a failure to fire, a seconed pull would be a reasonable option, and I assume a damn near knee jerk reaction (provided the BG is physically on you) just before going for your knife, or swinging or whatever other option you go with. Once again, I'm not saying pull and pull and pull, and not saying for every scenario. I do indeed force malfuntions, and train for a tap rack and pull. Dont make the mistake that I instead try for a seconed pull. Because that is simply not the case. All I have been saying the whole time is for a specific situation, a situation that I have to assume in most self defence shooting is over 1/3 of the time. A seconed strike potentially has its place. Not everytime, not every scenario. But if the BG in physically on me I will take that extra 1/10th seconed to jerk my finger one last time before going to my knife or hands. Hell its something that could be done as your going for a knife. You are trying to completly discard it as ever a option. In your case with a glock no matter the situation its physically not an option. In my case with a DA auto it is. If its something that by gods good grace might save my ass I'm going to go a head and try it once and hope (very very quickly) that it works. I would far rather do that, than the very terifying option of getting into a knife fight with someone. If/when the unlikely scenario that I need a gun comes up, followed by the even more unlikely scenario that I have a malufunction, I'll be damn glad that if the scenario arises that I at least have the option.
