First thing to remember is that the most important safety is the one between your ears. The idea of carrying with one in the chamber scared me to death when I first started carrying. Experience and constant practice with my firearms gave me confidence to carry in condition one (cocked and locked). The realization with drills and practice that I would likely not have time to chamber a round if placed between the rock and the proverbial hard place convinced me of the necessity. Get comfortable with your tool. If you can't get comfortable, find another tool. I have a glock I never carry because it is a tool I could never get comfortable with (not trying to start a glock riot). On the other hand, I have two 1911's and an XDS that are always condition 1 when they are on my person. If you're not there yet, practice, and get training if need be. You'll be glad you did.
