He sold it and bought a 1911.
You make a good point in that feeling safer is irrelevant. The Brady Bunch all "feel" safer with more restrictive gun laws, but that doesn't mean they are. Your coworker's story doesn't really resonate with me because I don't take the gun out of the holster to disarm, but good for your him for doing whatever he needed to do to feel comfortable carrying.

Re: Do you carry with a round loaded in the Chamber?

I don't undertstand the logic behind not carrying with one in the chamber. The holster covers the trigger, so I'm not worried about something catching on it. I'd rather not have to rack a slide if I'm in a situation where I need my gun. Just seems like one more thing to do wrong in a stressful situation.

I carry an XD with the Glock-style double trigger and a 1911 style grip safety. The grip safety doesn't make me feel any safer.
