I support the IDF juggling a pistol in midair so it gives time for the pregnant Palestinian woman they're going to shoot to kick them square in the balls and run.

That is the stupidest video I've seen in a long time.
How much fucking anime do you have to watch to determine the perfect starting position is with the gun upside down and one elbow well above your head.

I'm no quick-draw champion, but Jesus Christ
Could probably dump half a mag before they even pulled a round in

They even look so loserish doing the tacticool bullshit.

Creating insane levels of cringe to justify "we had a mix of pistols when the military was formed with different safety mechanisms so we picked empty chamber as the common denominator for safety"

I know nothing about guns. Carrying a round in the chamber sounds dangerous. Is it really more dangerous not to?
-
If you're carrying the gun expecting to have to defend yourself, slowing your ability to return fire is dangerous. As long as your gun is drop-safe (looking at you, P320), carrying with a round in the chamber is safe.
-
As others have explained, different pistols have different safety mechanisms. Some older designs are not as robust, that's where you see some being described as "drop safe" and others as not being "drop safe"
In general, you want to have a primary safety that prevents the trigger from accidentally being pulled, and then a series of secondary mechanisms that prevent the firing pin from accidentally hitting the cartridge, even if the trigger hasn't been pulled (i.e. the gun is dropped)
