if you carry empty chamber, then you may as well not carry at all, the end result of a combat situation will be the same, your funeral.

I read the first post and didn't bother to read the replies. If you are not going to carry chambered then don't carry. It is the same. There is no way on God';s green earth if a situation develops to where you must react you can do so in enough time to chamber first. Most gun fights are over in less than 10 seconds, you will be at a 3-5 second disadvantage depending on quick you are and rather or not you panic, freeze or run. Don't laugh or say not you. Unless you have been in the fire fight, you don't know.
My advice, which might just save your life, is chamber the weapon. If you don't then at least name me as beneficiary.
