I have been practicing my CC draw and for me it seems to be easier to carry my semi auto with the safety off and an empty chamber.
When I draw with the chamber loaded and the (manual) safety on I find myself looking at the gun to turn off the safety but in the other mode I can draw and rack the slide without taking my eyes off the target. Plus I'm more accurate with my pistol in single action mode as compared to the double action mode.
I haven't got my CCP yet. I've scheduled the course for Jan. 24th (they're booked until then) and I want to have my draw down before I take the class.
Which way do you carry? Should I continue to practice the way that works best for me or should I keep working at carrying (I believe the term is condition 1) until I get it down?
I can see good and bad in both situations and am interested in the opinions of those who have CC for awhile.
