My DA/SA pistol allows me to either carry cocked and locked (1911 condition) or hammer down, safety off. It will not allow me to carry hammer down, safety on. If you decide to carry cocked and locked, make sure you practice, practice, practice the draw stroke and thumbing the safety off. Muscle memory is the key in an emergency.
Somehow I knew when I read the first post, I would be able to read every post, and everyone would proclaim, safety off.

Is this a Rambo crowd, or what?
If all you guys were submarine captains, I bet the nuclear strike keys would be dangling in the control boxes, 24/7.

I own and at times CC a DA/SA decocker, a Beretta Px4 Storm Sub Compact 9mm. I keep a round in the chamber, and the safety ON!

People who train with safeties on, are how much slower than those that train with safeties off? The speed of the presentation is almost the same time wise, but it takes longer for the safety off people to get to the firing line to qualify, because they all walk to the firing line with Glock Leg. lol
.
For me, safety is first. How can anyone proclaim, safety first, if your own sidearm, has the safety off?
.
In firearm safety classes, as a Chief Range Safety Officer, we train students, if you have a safety, place the gun on safety before reholstering your pistol.
My usual CC pistol is any one of several Glocks, and I never have ammo in my Glocks, without first placing a trigger block safety in them. Easy, and instantaneous to remove should I need my gun.

That's funny I don’t feel like Rambo
I'm confused because that does not look like a Glock as a matter of fact I can quite clearly see a Beretta symbol on the hand grip

you seem to be more concerned about being safe on a range, in a SD situation speed is what might keep you alive and having to find and release a safety is a micro second you cannot afford to waste if you are ever confronted by a bad guy. I know of no trainer of self defense skills who would ever advocate carrying with a safety on. lastly do you know of any cop who would carry with a safety on?Somehow I knew when I read the first post, I would be able to read every post, and everyone would proclaim, safety off.

Umm....Rambo carried a big cheap China-made survival knife.
James Buel Lile, known as Jimmy Lile or The Arkansas Knifesmith (August 22, 1933 – May 5, 1991), was a knifemaker from Russellville in Pope County, Arkansas, who made the Rambo Knife for the films First Blood and Rambo: First Blood Part II.[1] As a knifemaker Lile served as a President of the Knifemakers' Guild and on the Board of Directors of the American Bladesmith Society.

Rambo carried American made knives
The knives that were sold after the movies were cheap Chinese knock offs
Lile chose to forge the blade of 440C high-carbon steel, which he claimed could cut through the fuselage of an aircraft.
CZ RAMI by any chance? That's one of my EDC's, and it's set up the same way. I carry it hammer down, safety off.
On my traditional DA/SA (S&W 4563TSW with decocker), I carry it safety off.
