For my own peace of mind, I must clarify. My 92G has no safety other than:

a. being decocked with one in the pipe and ready for DA first pull, or
b. no round in the pipe and have to work the slide.

When my card arrives, it will be carried with one in the pipe, decocked. I make sure I practice that first DA shot regularly. In the parlance of one of my favorite authors, get the first shot off fast, that way your target is unnerved and you have a chance to put the rest of them right on the money....I still practice for that first shot to be as accurate as possible......

I am sure beyond all doubt that my weapon will not fire in that condition, if properly maintained, handled and holstered.

Look at most revolvers as an example. Here are the options:

a. hammer down, one in the cylinder under it
b. hammer down, no round in the firing cylinder

If I carried my old revolver, it would be carried with a full wheel.

Work to YOUR comfort/safety level.

Oh, by the way, congratulations on getting the plastic!!!!!!

My Beretta 92G is DA/SA, has decocker, no safety. Ready to go....

You'll have to decide what you're comfortable with. Practice both methods and then decide what is best for you. In here, while you will find proponents of both methods, they cannot put themselves in your shoes...

Keep coming with the questions, and all in here will try to help. If you can draw, flip the safety and fire well enough, and are comfortable with that, go for it. If the thought of not having the safety on makes you uncomfortable, that's another thing. Take your time.

Remember, that weapon is only as safe as you are.

Good luck, friend!
