Knocking on wood...
I've been carrying a Glock with one in the chamber for going on 5 years now. In those 5 years, I have NEVER accidently pulled the trigger or had anything else pull the trigger.
If you don't feel safe with a round chambered then don't carry that way, but don't make that decision because you've seen a few holes in the seats of old police cars. Regardless of what type or brand of handgun you carry, if you practice safe gun handling skills then you will never have to worry about a negligent discharge.
That being said, there are only a few occasions where my Glock ever comes out of it's holster:
1) Practice.
2) Cleaning.
3) When transferring to or from night stand safe in the morning or evening.
A firearm of any sort is only as safe as the person holding it.
