Jimmy/Ed:
From "The Browning Hi-Power Pistol" (1966), compiled from technical notes from FN, Her Majesty's War Office (Director of Infantry), and the Browning Arms Co.:
"It is a poor safety practice to carry a loaded pistol with a round in its chamber in the holster, even with the safety catch on, as the safety can work clear. It is equally poor practice to carry a loaded pistol with a round in the chamber and the hammer uncocked, as it can inadvertantly become cocked. If a pistol must be carried with a round in the chamber, put the hammer at half-cock position, and apply the safety catch."
Sounds reasonable to me...<s>
