I have read that carrying a single action with one chambered is not the safest thing to do, the mp9 is basically single action. There is no long pull like a hammer type handgun. How do you feel about carrying chambered in the mp9 and other striker fire types with no safety.

then you need a gun you feel safe with.
an empty chamber is a forfeit in a gunfight. this is dictated by reality and must be entered into ones consideration.
Striker fired is a good bit different from a true SA such as a 1911
A true SA's trigger is right there, give or take some creep in some implementations there of. they rely upon the use of the safety.
a striker system does have some take up, although much lighter than most revolvers, and usually shorter as well, but it is there. these rely upon the trigger being guarded while carried.
The thing to bear in mind with empty chamber carry, is that despite your best efforts, you may very well have an injured, disabled, or otherwise occupied limb, by the time you realize you need your gun.
I don't care if your a newcomer or a seasoned Navy SEAL. this can happen to you.
Arlington is full of those it did happen to.
You may still lose the fight, but it should never be because you adopted an over complicated system that fails under pressure.
your attacker will not wait to shoot, shank, bludgeon, incinerate, slash, electrocute, crush, decapitate, disembowel, hang, strangle, pepper spray, or do any number of other not nice things to you, not limited to forced exposure to Beyonce songs.
