Re: Do you keep one in the "pipe?"

With my gun in condition 3 (no round in chamber, full magazine)
ONE - Pull trigger
TWO - Rack slide
THREE - Engage safety
FOUR - Release trigger
I'm now in condition 1 (round in chamber, hammer cocked, safety on)
Here's how I would do it: rack slide and engage safety.

But what about guns such as a Glock or Springfield XD that are DAO that do not have a thumb safety, or other lockout (besides the trigger safety)?
Carrying a loaded Glock is like carrying a loaded revolver. Everyone has different comfort levels and it's not always based on logic. Some people think a 1911 is unsafe in condition 1 because the hammer is cocked.
