I never take the magazines out of my carry guns except to recharge them, or to show a gun to someone. Otherwise, they are kept loaded all the time. The only exceptions to this rule are the safe queens, which are stored unloaded. Even so, I assume they are loaded until I have verified otherwise.

But I have 3 guns (+2 BUGs) in my carry rotation, and none of those three gets stored in the safe, and they are all kept loaded at all times.

I figure that by doing it that way I eliminated all wondering if a gun is loaded or not. I just assume that it is....

...and then I check just to make sure.

Like AndyC's sig line says, pros don't skip safety checks.
