In a situation when you might want a "loaded" handgun relatively close to hand but, for various reasons, not "quite" loaded, I can envision scenarios where keeping a pistol having a magazine disconnect with a round chambered, safety "off"( if it has one) sans magazine in one hidden place and a loaded magazine hidden in another place but near each other. When trouble beckons, retrieve the magazine from its hidden locale and reunite it with the otherwise ready to go pistol by just inserting the mag and pulling the trigger.
Conditions of self-defense "readiness" are most the times constrained or compromised by real world realities (proximity to children, for instance) and different strategies for a relatively quick access to a weapon can be useful to entertain.
