Chances are you would lose the opportunity.

How many recalls on safeties over the years? It's not only about not trusting yourself, it's the equipment also. To each their own but you're entering a numbers game when walkings around with one in the pipe imo.
There is scenerios where I"ll chamber one, coming over a hill, around a corner, tight bush etc. At that point I'm in front and as mentioned over and over muzzle control.
