How do you cock a Springfield 3.8, 9mm? I think you may be talking about 1911s or revolvers.
Do you have a round ready to advance in your Revolver, if any?
Almost everyone carries hot, and the 1911 is designed to be carried cocked and locked.

If you are carrying a handgun without a round chambered, then you are carrying a very expensive brick.
You must carry with a round chambered.

While I will never tell anyone that they MUST carry with a round chambered, it does leave a disadvantage when carrying.
Carry however you are comfortable. In time, your feelings will calm and it will be second nature to carry a properly maintained weapon with a round chambered.

A bit of a strange question for sure (assuming I understood it correctly) but in the semi-autos that I carry, it's always loaded, safety on. Only one of them has the ability to actually "cock" the hammer back manually.
The safety comes off during the draw and the first shot is DA. The rest are SA.
Hope this helps.

I carry all my pistols with a round in the chamber all they need is the trigger activation.
I would not purchase a semi-auto pistol if it had a manual safety, with the exception of a 1911 platform, in my experience and training I have found a manual safety to add no value to the semi-auto pistol platform.
The number one safety device is my brain. Number two safety device is my finger.

My 1911 is cocked and locked. Draw , flip safety off , and squeeze the trigger and it will go bang.
My Kel-tec PF-9 has no safety but it always has a round in the chamber .

Safety? Many of my handguns don't have such a thing....

I carry my sidearm with a round chambered. Should the need arise all that has to happen is draw, aim and fire. Safety is a condition not a switch on a gun.

1911. Would be unsafe if it weren't cocked. See avatar.

When you get you big boy pants and are capable of carying a Glock (or similar "safetyless" firearm") you will learn that your real safety is keeping your booger picker off the bang switch.
BTW, how do you cock Tupperware?

Condition One: Round in chamber, mag fully loaded.
Most people carry that way.
Q: Do you know the hammer's back on your pistol?
A: Yes -- I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if it had dropped.

1911s and Browning Hi-Powers are meant to be carried cocked and locked. Those are my usual carry. When I carry my Bersa, SA/DA 9mm, the hammer is down--decocked, but a round in the chamber can be fired DA. Same with my 24/7 OSS. Revolvers should NEVER be carried cocked.

Ouch. I just read that and had a little "shudder" while seated here.
That picture just doesn't sound right at all!!
