My 38 revolver has been in the shop for a while now. So I went and bought a S&W Sigma 9mm. It will hold 16 in the clip and 1 in the chamber, and it has no safety. I mean, if you got one in the chamber its cocked and ready to rock. Do you guys keep one in the chamber, or do you leave the chamber empty? In all of my 48 years I've never even needed a weapon to protect myself, but if I were in an emergency situation, seconds could count.

Just kinda thinking out loud.
