Perfectly safe to carry with a round chambered. Foolish not to even if your the winner of the strong momma competition for the last 6 years running.
I do encourage you to shoot it ALOT and hope the spring weakens some. With that and some practice you might be able to manipulate the slide better. You should be able to clear a jam etc which isn't gonna happen the way it is now it sounds like.
There's a drop safety incorporated so short of actually pulling the trigger, the gun is not gonna fire.
That being said, proper finger control and holster are still a must.
