Seems like an OK system. Reading it seems like it is a lot to remember for me.
For me:
1. If C&L, then it has one in the chamber (it would either be in a holster or I am at the range shooting).
2. If hammer down, then chamber is empty.

With my pistols:
1. If loaded, then it would be in a holster or in my hand because I am using it.
2. If not loaded, then it would be in a case or my range bag/box.
