I don't carry a 92FS at all, but I do carry a Double Action Semi-Auto with a slide safety (Baby Eagle). When I carry it, the safety is always on. After only a little practice I figure that I can deactivate the safety quite easilly WHILE drawing, so I figure why not go the one extra step. However, I wouldn't feel at all unsafe carrying safety off, people do it with revolvers all the time and it's basically the same thing as far as the first shot goes. I wouldn't suggest half-cock, though. Just not any real reason to do it, and it might end up ugly if for some reason the trigger just decides to fall (hey, freak stuff does even happen to very nice equipment).
