I am seriously looking into a LC9 as per my other thread LC9 or G36.
But something I've read in this link has got me a little worried about a possible accidental discharge if dropped or so.

''Although classified as a double-action pistol, the hammer is partially cocked by operation of the slide''
I know I am perhaps a little too scared, but I never carry one-up, ie cocked and locked. I just don't trust manual safeties as anything can fail.
But as this LC9 is DA only, I really thought I will carry it one-up, as the long trigger pull is a good safety measure as well. But won't the fact that it is half cocked when I load one in the chamber for carry mean it can go off in ideal circumstances?
Also what does the fact that it is half cocked do to the longevity and reliability of the hammer spring?
