And I agree. You should do what you're comfortable with.
And expect no comfort from and empty chamber

Does everyone have 1 in the chamber when CC'ing? I'm torn between the paranoid side of me who doesn't like have one in the chamber, and the safety side of me that wants one in the chamber for when the time comes.
This guy didn't carry with one in the tube.
He payed with his life.

Holy Cow!!
1911 - one in the chamber with hammer down. All I have to do is pull the hammer back and she's hot!!! PK 380 - one in the chamber with the safety on. One flip of the safety and she's hot!!! LCP - one in the chamber. No safety and No hammer. But the trigger pull is so heavy that IT is my safety. Finger on the trigger and she's hot!!! Any questions???
No round in the chamber is like carrying a brick...IMHO Have a nice day!
The method of carry does not change the condition in which I carry...Always 0.
That is what I believe as well...
Chambered. Cocked & Locked.

XD45 always 10 + one in the chamber.
There is a misconception that a gun's "safety" is to prevent it from discharging if the trigger is accidentally pulled. The only thing a gun's safety is supposed to do is prevent it from discharging if the trigger is not pulled. This protects from drops or other mishaps. All guns are supposed to discharge if the trigger is pulled, that is their purpose.
For those that don't realize it, the XD and XDm series weapons have mechanisms that will not allow the striker to come forward and contact the round's primer if the grip safety is not disengaged. You can throw it down several flights of stairs or multiple stories of a building and it will not discharge. By the same token, the trigger safety prevents the trigger from moving unless it is disengaged. Both safeties have been designed such that naturally holding the weapon will disengage them but anything else should keep one or both safeties engaged. Without understanding them, they seem too simple to be effective, one has to trust that they will do their jobs as intended.

Do people seriously carry a Beretta 92 chambered with a cocked hammer? I'm sorry, but that does seem like a bad idea.
