I carry a SIG 225, a round in the pipe and decocked. I have the safety factor of needing to fully cycle the trigger to fire it, with the ability to fire by just doing that. But I'm not going to carry something that essentially turns out to be a small club. If you need to use one, odds are you're going to need it bad.
None of my ccw pistols have manual safeties.
But always round in the chamber, just a double action trigger pull always (LCR) or first round (SP2022).
Round chambered, then decocked. First round DA, SA for the next 9. Train that way and like it. The real safety is in my finger, that way I don't forget.
I carry one of the following with a round in the chamber and all i have to do is grab it, point and squeeze the trigger.
XD45 4" compact
XD45 5" compact
G23
Sigma 40
I have a Glock 27 that I use as my CCW, so there is no safety to deal with, and I keep a round chambered. On that note I sometimes use a .38 spc as my CCW, also no safety and it is loaded.
Chambered - no safety lever....Glock.
I don't chamber but I don't have a safety either.
Ruger LCP in my back pocket in a Desantis nemisis holster. Kimber ultra CDP II in either my coat pocket or small of my back cocked and locked.
I tell the bad guy to hold up a second while I load the chamber........ :-)
DAO or DA/SA - chambered, external safety off if it has one
SAO - chambered, cocked, thumb safety on
All my carry pistols only need a pull of the trigger to fire.
Glock 26
Glock 19
S&W 642
Ruger LCP
I always carry with a round in the chamber.
The only guns I carry that have a safety are my 1911's, and I always carry in Condition 1.
