Are you pocket carrying with +1 in chamber without a holster?!

Get one. Your gun will be so much happier.

Oh, and congrats on the weight loss! Quite an accomplishment!

Not-so-funny-story
When I took my first CHL class the instructor had everyone take out their weapons before the shoot and do a safety check (this was in NC and at the time everyone shot simultaneously ). One guy in particular was having trouble taking down the slide on his pocket semi-auto. Looked to me like an antique .32 or something similar. The instructor finally figured it out and when the slide came off a huge chuck of pocket lint came along with it. The barrel and underside of the slide were jammed with years of lint. I'm certain the thing would have caught fire if fired.

There are many tales of woe and discomfort on the web. For $20-30, get a pocket holster. Cheap safety and comfort.
I cannot imagine carrying a loaded gun in my pocket without a properly secured trigger. When you drop your keys in there and go to fish them out, how easily will they get hooked on the trigger?
