I believe your closing comments are spot on and the point to the article was identifying your why. If you are concerned carrying a live round in the chamber due to safety, it begs the questions of how we define safety.

In some cases, like in Israel, it’s either common practice or the law. Once you always carry in Condition 3, drawing and racking the slide becomes second nature. In one of the classes I took several years ago with Dave Harrington we practiced it quite a bit and you become pretty fast and proficient with it in fairly short order. Of course, it has its drawbacks. Certainly, it will always be slower and more cumbersome than Condition 1. Personally, I don’t see a need for Condition 3 with today’s reliable striker-fired pistols and if you have a solid holster that covers/protects the trigger area when holstered.
