I can understand the reasoning why many store their HD gun in condition one, but I don't. My glock nearly never has a round in the pipe carry or otherwise unless I'm about to pull the trigger. Because of this, racking the slide has become second nature to me and a natural part of my draw. Also, it takes nearly zero extra time (for me because i practice this way) since I'm on or close to target by the time the slide returns. Heck, if I were to carry in condition one now, I'd probably eject the first shell on the draw. Either way, practice it the same way you store it and call it a day...
