In the D/FW area I suggest that you look into the tactical pistol courses at DFW Gun Range. It should put some of your fears to rest and teach you proper methods as well.

Be careful who you take a course from there. Joe Elledge is the only currently qualified person to teach such a class. They have a real poser working over there you don't want to end up with.

Even with a Glock 40?

IMO, there are no good reasons to carry a firearm without a round in the chamber. None, Zero, Zip, Nada.....

Besides the comments posted above, you might not be ABLE to chamber a round if an attacker has struck first and caused a crippling blow to your support hand/arm.

Don't give up any tactical advantages (especially time).
