What if? I'm sure we could come up with any number of more likely issues with carry.

What if you're pocket carrying and sitting down? That seems like a more likely scenario to me and really slows things down yet, people do it all the time and it's never questioned.

What if you're fending the bad guy off with your shooting hand? Wouldn't that slow the presentation?

What if you accidentally hit the mag release and the mag falls out? Now you only have one shot. If you have a mag disconnect, you have no shots.

What if...?

I still say a single action is better than no gun at all. If that's what you have, by all means carry it.
