fiddletown: good point. Another big issues with "sometimes this way, sometimes that way" is that it adds further complication to your response in extremis. Pick one way to carry (whether condition 1, 2, or 3). Then train that way and always carry that way. Train the way you fight and fight the way you train.

If you sometimes carry condition 1 and sometimes carry condition 3, then there is a good chance that you will be in one condition but think you are in the other. If you are in condition 1 but think you are in condition 3, you'll cycle the slide and drop a round on the ground. If you are in condition 3 but think you are in condition 1, then you will pull the trigger and nothing will happen -- that could have very disastrous consequences.
