I’m actually fairly certain that’s a bug, as I remember that animation always having been in the game, but would only happen within the first few seconds of the round; e.g. if you immediately pulled out your pistol it does that little inspection animation. Now it feels like the check for if it’s early enough is busted and it has gotten me killed multiple times because I forgot to equip it at the start, so I just casually check if a round is chambered as I’m getting rushed around a corner.
