I have been able to see measurable bullet setback (0.025") in rounds I loaded as few as three times, when I tested repeated loadings on about 25 cartridges.

I would hate to have unintended discharge. Or for ease of mind is ir better to carry unchambere? Thanks. :fire
I see you are relatively new to the forum, so welcome.

I honestly don't believe there is anyone who can be considered experienced with daily firearm carry who would recommend carrying with an empty chamber.

Daily carry: best bet is a quality gun belt with a quality holster that fully covers the trigger.

If you are still skeptical, set your handgun in your holster on a shelf for a month and see how many times the gun jumps out of the holster and fires itself. :mrgreen:
