Each person has to do what they are comfortable with. For me, I always keep a round in the chamber of the one gun I am using/carrying at that time. I set my wife up with a gun and made sure it has a round in the chamber. Both guns are DAO, so it's not much different than having a revolver.Huey » 27 Jun 2022, 8:43 am » wrote: ↑ That is correct. The only time my 9mm has a round in the chamber is when I go to the range or I am carrying. When I get home I drop the magazine, make sure it is clear, put it on safe and then put the 13 round magazine in don't rack the slide. Then I put it down on the dresser or lock it in the safe. Later, if I pick it up I make sure it is on safe, drop the mag and rack the slide to make sure it is empty.
If you do it every time you never forget.
