Second, repeated unload/load cycles risk bullet setback which is dangerous. Use the search function, above, for "bullet setback" to familiarize yourself.
If I need to leave my gun in the car, I simply pull my holster/gun out of my belt as a single unit, put it in my center console, and lock my car.
Not only do
