When I used to carry without one in the chamber, I did a lot of training to suit defensive situations, one of those was racking the slide and chambering a round one handed.
Some think it can't be done without using some sort of object (belt, etc) , so I made a little video slowed down for demonstration purposes.
This one shows both strong and weak side using my XDM and PM9, just to make it more difficult for myself I used my weak side to rack the slide of the PM9, it's more difficult because the slide is shorter and it's a tougher slide to pull, not to mention they are known to nose dive if not racked using the slide release.
I intentionally used live ammo instead of snap caps to avoid the argument that it's somehow easier with snap caps than live ammo, this is the real deal using live hollow points. That said, when I practice at home I do use snap caps.
With some practice you can become pretty quick at this method, and it was part of my draw at one time.
