If you're chambering the same two bullets over & over again, be very careful about bullet setback. I've heard some people say it only ever happens on reloaded rounds, but I've had it happen to me with some of my factory JHP bullets. (Thankfully it's something that I'm somewhat paranoid about, so I haven't been bit by it yet.)

Re: Additional Step to Ensure Loaded/Unloaded Status

I don't get it either. If I'm being lazy I pull the slide back a little and look. When I'm not lazy I release the mag and eject the round in the chamber if there is one. Then I reinsert the mag and chamber a round, eject the mag to put the previously ejected round back in, and rereinsert the mag back into the gun and holster.

Much of this is a moot point for me because I always carry with a round in the chamber.
