But also consider that someone who gets hold of my gun is not going to shoot me with it.
But much more likely to get it from you while you're fiddling around racking the slide.

I have never fumbled a slide rack.
While your heart is pounding out of your chest in the high stress situation of being attacked?

If I need a gun, I got one, if I need it loaded, I'll load it
If you have an empty gun when you need a loaded one, you may not have time to make the difference.

I don't think that drawing a gun while in hand to hand combat is going to work out for you as well as it works in theory
But has a much better chance of working out than trying to rack a slide at the same time.

Bad things happen quickly.
And racking a slide lessens the time to respond.

It's your gun. your time, and your life. If you want to carry an empty gun, as you said, on you will go.
Just points for others to think about if they consider carrying something as safe to carry with a round in the chamber as an LCP.
