I tried to train drawing/racking/aiming and firing, but the more I practiced, the more I began to realize this is just not a viable method. How could I possibly do all of this in an unexpected attack and be able to defend myself? You just can't.

I came to this same conclusion also, I practiced one-handed racking many times, but still there were times the slide didnt catch my belt or pocket lip. I got a good holster practiced carrying around the house with a snapcap chambered to prove to myself that it is safe. I have a G27 also and have carried with a chambered round ever since.
