Chamber, Safe On, Holster, Safe Off, Carry.

I would have replaced "scared" with "prudent" otherwise I love it when we agree!

Believe me, people are scared.
Not using a safety to reholster isn't being prudent?
So, buying a pistol without a manual safety isn't prudent. Gotcha.

I'll just temper that statement with "more prudent"

I was asking what I may have missed in my proposal that

"Chamber, Safe On, Holster, Safe Off, Carry" is a valid procedure to help aid prevention of NDs. ​

Then I will have to refer back to my first post. Depends on the firearm

I took the safety off my 1911. Screw that.

According to the OP, I’m talking about a handgun that needs a round chambered (semi-auto) with a manual safety.

You probably get a deal getting your junk sewn back on.

Decocker?

Not a big target. Law of probabilities rules in favor of a miss.

Is it DA/SA or SAO?

I will refer to my first post:

How you carry is predicated by what you carry.

IMHO:

SAO pistol: Cocked and locked. (round chambered, cocked, safety on) OR hammer down, safety off on an EMPTY chamber. I recommend against chambering a round and lowering the hammer as the hammer can slip and ND.

D/A pistol: Round chambered and decocked, safety if so installed off. This may be argued with, but even with DA pistols with a safety and decocker (Beretta, FNX for example) I prefer to carry decocked with the safety off. I feel like the heavy initial trigger pull is a better safety than a safety switch.

I will refer to my first post:

You fail to address the condition the pistol is in, as it relates to the safety, immediately before holstering and immediately after.

Which was the entire point of the post.

I usually like to clear and make my pistol safe before reholstering. Can never be too safe. I also keep the mag out of it until I need it. Then It's just 1 easy step added to "Israeli carry" by stuffing the mag into the pistol right before making it hot to make a shot.
I do it for the children.

Do you keep it in your left or right sock?

Oh! now I get it, you want advice of the process not the carry condition. Gotcha.

In that case:. If it is a DA/SA pistol that decocks the hammer with the safety being on (like a Beretta 92, some CZ 75s and some H&K for example) yes your method is fine.

If it is a DA/SA pistol that does NOT decock the hammer with the safety (FNP, FNX and some other CZ 75s for example) then no. Decock and leave safety off.

If it is a SAO pistol, leave the safety on.

Long story short, I would get into the habit of decocking before holstering, unless it is a SAO, in which case I would engage the safety and leave it on

Sounds like you're carrying a Beretta.

Carry an M&P or a Sig 365 and then don’t worry about this stuff

Kahr K40 one in the tube and cocked no safety. Kimber Micro 1911 setup, one in the tube hammer cocked. What's the beef?

A thumb safety isn't hard to learn to use...

A thumb safety isn't hard to learn to use...

...and enhances safety.

Hence, safety.
