I can't find a thread dealing with this, and all the talk in the "chambered or not" thread got me thinking... I carry with one in the chamber (feel safe doing so), and mostly in an IWB Old Faithful hip holster. I do sometimes carry in an OWB Blackhawk Serpa Level II retention holster, which is undoubtedly more comfortable. I don't doubt my abilities to draw and get on target with a proper grip and without touching the trigger until the need arises, but I do doubt my abilities somewhat to do so when I have to get through clothing. As one of the videos posted commented, carrying concealed will increase your time to draw. Aside from open carrying as a law-abiding citizen (an option in my state), I'm going to have to fight some clothing to get my firearm out and on target (be it just an untucked shirt, a tucked shirt, a sweatshirt... and even maybe a zipped-up jacket on top of all of this in the colder weather).
I'm interested in everyone's opinion about the ease of drawing and putting your sights on target with your routine carry method, and also, a poll of said carry methods. Thanks.
