    Excellent point. I don't have a proper holster, only a Galco belly band. When I do buy a holster, you can be sure I'll keep my hand off the grip safety as I practice un-holstering and re-holstering 100 times.

    Default One in the chamber?

    Always loaded like all the other guns in my house.. I feel no need to leave them unloaded.. When out and about always one in the chamber.
    This place isn't safe.

    PM9 one in the chamber.
    Might as well have a stick otherwise.
    I dont carry weapons with a safety, theres always one in the pipe, I am the safety.

    Always one in the chamber!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If a person isn't comfortable with one in the chamber then I guess they should never carry a revolver.

    ALWAYS HAVE ONE IN THE CHAMBER, The only safety that needs to be engaged is the one between your ears.

    I just checked there's nothing between my ears that looks like a safety?

    Need more info.

    Finfan... You're going to get your balls busted on this one, but it is a process. I have one in chamber and carry AIWB with no thumb safety. I would not have done it this way on day one and wouldn't even recommend it. YOU have to be confident in it. You can carry however you want until you are ready, but just get to where you can get off a round ASAP. If that means one in battery and a thumb safety, then train for it. You will not want to rack the slide. Getting the gun out of your holster and on target is slow enough and you may only have one hand.

    You could have placed that period after the word ears for the sake of brevity. Just sayin'.
