Here's some food for thought:

This guy is drawing a gun with an empty chamber, racking, and shooting Israeli style. Didn't take long did it? In fact I imagine he put several rounds on target quicker than most shooters.

The down side of carrying with a round in the chamber is that you need serviceable gear and to know what you are doing. Otherwise this can happen:

WARNING LANGUAGE/GRAPHIC I shot myself! WARNING LANGUAGE/GRAPHIC

If you are new to carrying a firearm, please don't be the guy that shot himself. Remember you are carrying FOR SAFETY
Better yet, carry the gun without a mag in the well. That should make it even safer. Or, why not carry an empty gun with an empty mag on your belt and a box of ammo. Probably want to make sure that box is unopened and taped up real good, just to be safe.
