that's not reflex after inserting a loaded magazine at this point ?

Yes it is... all the more reason to freak out to find it empty. Taught me to check the chamber every time before I put in in the holster.

I was apprehentious about carrying with a round chambered when I got my first gun (feels like a long time ago... 8 months or so). What I did was reset the trigger on my Glock and insert the loaded mag, but not chamber it. I put the gun in the holster, and carried it like that around the house, including flopping down on the couch, lying on the gun, turning around with full weight on the gun. Every now and then I would look at the gun to see if the trigger had been pulled. Of course it never was, so I built my confidence that it won't pull its own trigger in the holster.
