Hi-Point in their "User Manual" warns against leaving the pistol loaded unless your going to immediately shoot it, so I will never go against the recommendations of the Manufacturer.
Follow what Hi-Point Recommends!
Speaking "Only for My Self" I would carry "MY" "PERSONALLY" "OWNED" Hi-Point pistol loaded with safety engaged after ensuring it was 100% mechanically sound and maintain properly. I would train engaging and disengaging the "SAFETY" only if I where immediately going to fire the pistol until it becomes second nature. If your not going to immediately fire the pistol in a defensive situation then leave the safety on and the finger off the trigger! Many seem to always kick the safety off once the gun leaves the holster but this practice is unsafe and a liability in many ways. "LEAVE THAT SAFETY ON" until your 100% ready to fire the pistol. With that said everyone should strictly follow all safety practices and procedures that the manufacturer and the NRA set forth for safe gun handling.
Rnd. in the chamber when out of the house. Chamber a round when I leave, and clear when I return. All in the privicy of my garge. Why would u carry conceled any other way? You may not have time to chamber in todays outdoor environment.But if someone breaks into your house you'll likely hear them comming and have the time.

1 in the chamber safety on in a holster that covers the trigger and protects the safety! After watching the interview with a gunfighter vid I am sure he would not have had time to rack the slide taking the safety off is much easier and only requires one hand!
One in the Chamber, Safety On, Magazine Inserted .
As I draw it I can release the safety with my thumb if I need to .So that by the time I bring it to bear, it is ready for my trigger finger.
