One in the pipe?
depserv:
I've been carrying with a round chambered since day one. But I have to admit that some carry methods did make me more nervous about it than others. It kind of depends on what's in front of the muzzle. But as long as the trigger is covered by the holster and I follow established safety rules I'm not nervous with a round in the chamber even when the muzzle is pointed at my wee wee.
RobertH:
carrying without a round in the chamber is like....
driving a car and thinking you can put on your seat belt before a wreck.
cooking and thinking you can run to walmart and buy a fire extinguisher when you need one.

Men of a Certain Age need to be careful of the acronyms. It took me a minute or so to figure out that ED stands for “Every Day”. :laugh:
How’s that .327 LCR? All it’s cracked up to be?

OTOH, It could be sorta like "LIMP-Wristing." Just Sayin'.............
.327Federal Magnum/LCR:
Love the gun. As stated above, I had some slide-racking issues. Looked for solutions, as usual
Heard of the .327FM. Hard to find. Really hard to find at a decent price. Lots of them listed at $589. Being a Terminal Tightwad, I pounced on one around $400. (You won't ever want to sell a gun to me.)
Here's What I Like:
>LCR Platform. Perfect pocket carry. No hammer. No edges. Great feel. Slips slickly in and out of pocket. Very compact.
>6 rounds, not 5.
>2" barrel surprisingly accurate.
>Hogue Tamer grips fit my hands; absorb recoil.
>Can load lite .32S&W Long cases w/DEWCs, shoot practice all day. EZ on hand and wrist. At least three good factory SD loads are available.
In the past I've carried:
9mm Kahr PM9
.357SIG Glock 33
.22MAG Ruger LCR (No Commentary Allowed Here)
.22LR Beretta 21A (Shaddup!!!)
And will probably be carrying the .327FedMag for a while.
FWIW

The only time I do not carry with 1 in the pipe is when armed with a double barrel shotgun, or 2 or 4 barreled derringer.
