He is either going to off himself, or her to protect his secret.

I read it as he's performing a press check in preparation for shooting the person next to him.

Presumably, Bond did a bunch of shooting to get to the point where the comic starts. The gun is potentially dirty enough where failure to feed or extract may be happening. A simple push of the slide back enough to verify that he's got a live round chambered might save him from having to resort to other methods to silence the other person in the comic.
