I have a habit of practicing dry fire drills to get/maintain muscle memory of safely drawing my firearm and getting sights on target fast. I do this with my intended primary carry, so I leave it in a "warm" state (loaded mag, none in chamber) on my nightstand when not in use alongside my loaded .357mag revolver and loaded Bodyguard 380. I don't even want the chance for an AD despite consistently dropping the mag and checking the chamber everytime.

That said, when I'm packing for defense, I always carry with one in the chamber, but that also means there are some pistols I don't carry for defense because I can't get comfortable with one in the chamber. I know I'm going to start a fight here but I can't get accustomed to a 1911 in condition 1, so I don't carry a 1911 on my person. Just my preference. What I carry more often than anything is an LCP, no manual safety, not particularly pretty, a forever long trigger pull, and snaps your hand like a nun in catholic school, but I'm comfortable with one in the pipe. I make sure I have it in a good pocket holster, and I keep my booger hook off the bang button. And, although it's been said before, it bears repeating, the most important safety is the one between your ears! Happy carrying!
