Carry a round in the chamber and practice with it until you are confident and comfortable. If need be practice (safely) with snap caps. If you cannot get over it, than consider transitioning to a revolver.

Good luck, stay safe.

Good advice from this gentleman.I'd like to add "brain connected to trigger finger."A semi auto with manual safety may be the way to go for you.Yes I know there are a lot of people who feel it's not needed, but go with what you are comfortable with.It's all a matter of personal preference.Not to ignite controversy,but racking the slide of a loaded weapon off your belt during a fight makes me extremely nervous.
