If you guys aren't carrying condition 1, then play airsoft, or take a handgun class. Because you're living in a dream if you think you will always have time, mental clarity and physical ability to rack the slide in the moment of need.

I read 1/2 the thread and gave up... maybe I'm dense on the subject, but I can't figure out exactly what OP is trying to accomplish or why (not being sarcastic).
What is the reason for wanting a dummy round? If you don't want one in the chamber, don't rack the slide (not a good idea for HD though). A dummy round isn't going to add any benefit to that - but could be a detriment when you do rack the slide and the round stove pipes or jams in chamber.
Condition 1 for HD (or CC) is the only thing that makes sense (imo).
The only time I use snap caps/dummy rounds, is to test new mags and/or new guns to be sure they cycle properly... and when I'm practicing drills in home. Using a dummy round for any real world use is extremely foolish.
*ETA: at the risk of seeming too skeptical - every time I read a new member post with questionable comments or concerns, my first inclination is that Yee (or any anti) is fishing... and I must admit, I thought the same in this thread - but I can't figure out how this would benefit the antis (unless they are getting very creative).Last edited by LBDamned; 02-24-2013, 9:39 AM."Kamala is a radical leftist lunatic" ~ Donald J.

To those of you you have posted constructive answers (get a wheel gun, "dryer-test" the safety, "cruiser-load" a pump shotgun, etc...)- thank you.
I have a 92FS that I picked up as a range gun & am now trying to figure out how to use it as a HD gun before I start adding to the collection. All this planning is truly just "defense in depth" for wildly improbable situations, as is my home carry anyway (I have a very noisy driveway and a very... proactive alarm). Your help & comments on the "what if" scenario is very helpful and much appreciated.
Using acronyms like that may result in a vacation from the site. That's your warning.
As for why I was asking? Condition 3 is (absent WILLFUL misuse) proof against the improbable becoming probable; however, it is slower/more difficult to get ready than Condition 1 should I ever need to unholster a gun "in anger". Thus trying to figure out if there's a way to "waste" the first round but get the gun in battery faster.Last edited by retired; 02-25-2013, 10:23 AM.Comment

If I ever need to pull a weapon "in anger"- aka ready to shoot something besides steel/paper targets- things have already gone past "ending well" and into "horrifically wrong OH S@!#". At that point I'm trying to make sure that me, mine, and as many others/bystanders as possible live to see another sunrise.Comment

The 92F is a pretty 'safe' gun: long DA first trigger pull, manual safety, firing pin block. If you had it with a loaded chamber, decocked, and with the safety on it's not going to go off.
If you want an extra level of security, buy a holster that completely covers the trigger and has a thumb break that prevents the hammer from moving to the rear while the break is in place.
Perhaps something like this:
I'm not all that knowledgeable about holsters, but perhaps others can point out the 'best' models to look at.

Op needs to lighten up; read and learn. Some good advice here and of course, this being the internet, some bad advice.
