That isnt the unsafe part Imo. Its the ability to respond to an attack in the shortest time period. Empty chamber carry requires may 100% more practice to be effective in a CQB incident w/o injurying yourself. Military doesnt require empty chanber because its efficient but because they think their troops arent smart/safe enough to carry a loaded gun.
