I ask the question because I am trying to get comfortable with carrying my XD with one in the chamber. For about a week now, my gun has been cocked with the chamber empty just so I can gain that confidence that it won't go off (while I'm 99.9% it won't, this is just that extra reassurance that I need).
I notice that when a lot of people reassemble their XD, they release the striker. Why do you not leave it cocked? Is there any negative to leaving the XD cocked 24/7 365? While indirect, the question is focused on seeing what the negatives are, if any to leaving a gun cocked, 24/7 365 with a round in the chamber.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
