I don?t judge others for their choices but for me I have a preference for simplicity. Anything I carry needs to be deployed with one hand and if I want it to fire I just want to pull the trigger. No manipulating a slide, no taking some manual safety off, etc.

Modern firearms by design are inherently safe to carry fully loaded. Lack of attention or complacency when handling the firearm is what leads to someone letting a round fly unintentionally.

To touch on what Irving mentioned, if you are suddenly and unexpectedly engaged by an assailant you might find it difficult to free up both hands to load your gun while you are grappling with the guy.
