Come to think of it; I wore shoulder-rigs, normal holsters and those funky holsters that you wrap around your thigh (when on a mission). Never had any issues with negligent-discharges.
...you don't mean you carried it cocked, though, do you? normal carry for a DA/SA is to carry it hammer down on a live round...first shot normally DA...I've never known anyone carry one cocked for a SA first shot...on most, the safety decocks it and that'd be like carrying a 1911 cocked safety off...with no grip safety...tell me I need another cuppa coffee to understand what your meant...

...nebbermind...I forgot "normal" military carry of a pistol is empty pipe...been a long time....when I was in, they let the bullets finish growing to full size before pickin' 'em...
No. I carried a round in the chamber with the hammer down. Locked and Loaded, not Locked and Cocked.

I always carried my M9 locked-and-loaded. Most of the base didn't, but I was on a Detached Team and didn't have to play the silly-games that the rest of the FOB did.
