If I missed this point being made already forgive me.
It seems that much of the advice that answers the OPs original needs or chambering a round after drawing is being done in a vacuum. Move your hand here, hold your other hand here, grab slide at this point, push here, pull there..... really?
You have no clue what may be out there if you every have to defend yourself. For those of us that try to imagine and train for different possibilities, the one we didn't expect is probably the one that'll be the one we're confronted with.
Why would you add more fine motor skill activity to an already stressful situation? If you're carrying groceries, a purse, two kids by the hand, and keys to the car when someone decides to take advantage of the situation, I bet you'll quickly realize you only have two hands.
Also, Kyo, the OP's gun is a Glock? What's wrong with a Glock and why does not having an external safety matter if it's in a holster?
