The conversation that initiated my question concerned semi-autos and the possibility of accidental discharge while drawing,

Thanks for being more specific. I USED to carry my Semi Auto's with an empty chamber. I have a Diamondback DB9 which is a small pocket sized 9mm. it has no external safeties, but has a very heavy trigger. Loading the first round into the chamber manually often results in a jam. I don't need this in a already stressful situation. When I carry this piece it is in a holster that covers the trigger. I also carry my SR9C loaded with the safety on.
The best safety is not to put your finger into the trigger hole until you are ready to fire. and take it out of the hole before you holster. It is amazing how many people shoot themselves in the leg putting the weapon back into the holster.
Go to Youtube and search the topic Carry empty chamber There are a dozen or more videos explaining why it is not a good idea.
