The XD was built with redundant safety mechanisms to make it as safe as possible to carry chambered. Allot of people have a hard time training there minds to believe the gun wont go off unless the trigger is pulled. But it is True. The gun wont go off unless the trigger is pulled.
Having to deal with an extra step in a defensive situation can be a deal breaker. Of course it is Just MHO..

Where else would you carry it? An unloaded gun is a paperweight.

Your not carrying a weapon without one in the chamber....your carrying a paper weight.
