The OP is in Pakistan and his environment s undoubtedly different from that of most of us.

When I kept a DA/SA semi-auto for home defense I kept a round chambered.

When I took a CCW course, I learned that I could not in most cases produce the gun until a probable attacker was close to me, and that I had at most a little more than two seconds to draw and fire. To me that doesn't leave enough time to cycle the slide, and the answer is obvious--for that application.

Now, for LEO or military carry the same restrictions may not apply. I don't know.

The only semi-auto I've ever fired that I would never carry with a round cambered was a 7.62 Tokarev. It had no safety at all.
