It unlocks the gun from being 'in battery'. It is the equivalent to throwing a bolt up in a bolt action gun, unlocking the action.
If you had a shotgun with the slide unlocked and fired it, the equal and opposite reaction from firing the shell would propel the forstock backwards, and some or much of the shot and the explosion from the shot would exit from the ejection port of the gun or from the bottom where the shell elevator is.
Once the trigger has been released (ie pulled) the slide is automatically unlocked.

How do I disassemble a Smith and Wesson model 39-2?
1. With safety on, remove the magazine from the weapon. 2. Cycle the action (pull back and release the slide) to eject any round still in the gun. 3. Pull back the slide until the slide lock (on frame) is under the slide lock notch (on slide). 4. Press the slide lock pin (sticks out of the right side of the frame) inward, toward the left side. 5. Remove the slide lock lever from the left side of the gun. 6. Release the hammer forward gently. 7. Pull the slide forward until it comes off the frame. Reassembly is pretty much the same process in reverse. NOTE - The 39-2 has a decocker instead of a safety. When you pull back the slide you must line up the pin end of the slide lock with the slide lock notch.
