I did not post that to get into an argument on the merits as I am a firm believer in carrying in whatever way works for each individual person, their conditions, and their time of their life.

THe only difference being my 1911s are carried in condition 1. My Glocks, Kel-Tec and Kahr are carried with a round in the chamber but obviously do not have a manual safety.
I have never understood the mentality of not wanting to carry a round in the chamber. That's the last thing you need to be thinking about doing if you are ever in a situation where you need to use it.
Having said that:
1. I would also venture there are those who suffer from Glock Leg (learn something every day).
2. You can take this the other way as well. Logically we should all be carrying pistols drawn under a coat, because milliseconds count.
My circumstances and my decisioning are my own and your mileage may vary.
