OK, this may be a very stupid question, but I'll ask anyhow.

When carrying a DA/SA pistol without a safety, you carry it un-cocked, right?

I just acquired my first DA/SA pistol (HK P2000sk 9mm) and I'm not planning on carrying it until I log some good range time first. But in doing some dry-firing the other day, I noticed that the first squeeze of the trigger is very (very) stiff. I wouldn't feel safe carrying the pistol cocked, but at the same time that first trigger pull is kind of a bear, and must stiffer than the DAO pistols or even revolvers that I'm used to.

Any advice is appreciated.
