In response to the "moderator" comment as well as the PM from him; my original post shared an experience and a closing of asking how do you carry? I was unaware that "I" was required to continue to respond as answers were received, i.e. round in the chamber, or not. I was under the impression that the post continued due to others sharing their particular opinion on the subject with other members and I had no intention of being rude by not responding.
If my lack of participation warrants the post being deleted. Delete it.
To all who have commented and shared, thank you! I read them all.
If it is mandated to post a thank you for a closed end question each and every time there is a post, Mr. Moderator then delete it, as you mentioned in your PM. I didn't really appreciate your private message. If anything I have done since joining this forum is wrong, or against your TOS, then please delete me too!

I 100% agree with your comment above. One of the reasons I recently purchase a Springfield XDs 9mm is that it comes with some built in safety features, i.e. grip safety, trigger safety, etc., that don't require my same level of attention as pulling the slide, de-selecting a manual safety, etc. It allows me to feel comfortable with one in the chamber for EDC and doesn't require me to have additional steps to use my firearm in the rare event it is ever required.
