Conventional / Recommended Carry Condition for Various Firearms

[AMDG]

The thread poll about carrying with a round in the chamber got me thinking about "conventional" or "recommended" carry condition for different types of firearms. I though it might be helpful if there was a list.

For purposes of this list:
1. A round in the chamber is assumed.
2. I'm looking for cocked or not and locked or not (except those with no manual safety would be N/A on the locked or not question).
3. I'm putting Glock in the SA category for convenience sake only.

DAO semi-autos don't have decockers that I know of. The hammer always follows forward.
Do they make SA semi-autos with no safety or decocker? (I consider Glock, et. al. more DA than SA)

DA/SA - Semi-Auto - Manual Safety / Decocker (e.g., Beretta 92FS, HK USP):

might have to split those. The 92FS safety-on is also decock (standard F-type variant) - there is no way to have the safety on and cocked. The USP splits the two functions (up to safety, down to decock, center to fire) so can be carried decocked safety on or off, or cocked and locked. How about "USP, Taurus 92" on one line and "92FS, PX4, a bunch of S&Ws" on another

(corrections welcome, I haven't used all models of 92 but am 99% that they work like my PX4)

There's the pre-89 import models which had frame mounted safeties, without decockers.

Wouldn't carry USP cocked and locked leelaw? Just wondering why.
