Can I ask why you unholster / unload every time?
Voldemort, I think the trend in thinking is very clear here.
Unless you have a very good reason (and there could be one), it seems most here think you oughta just leave the piece loaded.

Nate, thanks for the intelligent response, a refreshing change from the many smart a$$ responses one gets when asking a question.

What about sweatpants?? You always wear jeans and belt at home?Aside from the hazards of loading and unloading, setback can happen. Some calibers are affected more than others, 40 being relatively high pressure is affected more so than 45acp.
I always keep mine loaded while at home, and keep it on my hip probably 90% of the time at home. Reason? Statistically, 100% of all home invasions happen at home.
