Seriously though, I carried a shield 45 for about six months, shot it a lot, loved it... but I always had thoughts that an accidental discharge is a possibility. (not the guns fault at all). I am new to the game also, I have only been carrying for about a year, so..... the only way to stop the thoughts of an accidental discharge for me was to switch to DAO, I switched over to a CS45D and I feel 100% comfortable carrying it every day and by my side all night... also for me, the thought of one in the chamber became pretty clear after practicing/training both ways, there is no doubt in my mind that my gun is ready to fire and I am qualified to use it at any given moment... also when I re-holster I keep my thumb on the hammer, just another peace of mind... hope this helped, practice a lot and you will find out what you need to do!
