First congratulations on getting your CHL. I am fairly new to CHL, and I was nervous about carrying with a round chambered. My daily carry is a Kel-Tec p3at that I pocket carry in a holster. When I started carrying, I did not carry chambered, I figured I would have time to chamber one. About a month ago, two couples were robbed at gun point next to the building I work at. I got to see the footage of the car pulling up, and the guys jumping out. I am not certain I could have had my gun out of my pocket fast enough, let alone taking time to chamber a round. Since then I have been carrying with one chambered. Like others said, make sure the trigger is covered, and practice drawing while keeping your finger off the trigger until you have brought it up.

On a side note, how is carrying the XDm IWB? My incredible family surprised be with a new XDm 9mm 4.5 for fathers day , and I am considering getting an IWB holster for it.
