Generally speaking, you don’t really want to have you weapons unchambered unless you’re dealing with a large population of idiots/inexperienced people, such as the military (their guns have manual safeties and there are many situations where it’s completely unloaded or unchambered). But this also applies to American citizens, but unfortunately no one enforces these rules. Cops having no safeties make sense because nominally they’re always in danger (even though they’re not even in the too dangerous professions lol), and I believe many departments require heavy triggers so you’re sure you want to shoot.
Many citizens will even lighten their trigger pull significantly so you just pull it back a hair and it’ll go off. Because you know, we live in the 1850 and every corner is someone trying to murder you.
Though I would never carry unchambered. I can’t imagine being in a scenario where I’ll have enough time to rack the slide back, and my palms are always sweaty.
