My stepfather, who taught me to shoot as a kid, was a career marine. His method on "is it loaded?" was this: he would check the weapon (which I could see him do) and hand it to me. I would then disregard the fact that I saw him check and check it myself. His attitude was that it doesn't matter what anyone says or did. You check the weapon yourself.
Good advice, but to add to it, whenever I hand off a weapon to someone, I do it with the slide locked back or the cylinder open.
