Ruger P95. I'd be stupid to omit the round in the chamber, and the gun is designed to be perfectly safe that way. It doesn't fire unless the trigger is fully stroked. Otherwise, the hammer cannot reach the firing pin.
OTOH, I keep my 870 Express with nothing chambered, but then with a pump gun, we hope that the cycling action is enough to inform BG that the party is over, and the lights will soon go out.
