AK375DGR, the way you describe your method is also the way I store my gun at end of day.....takes pressure off the firing pin spring. Now if you do not want to have a round in the chamber, place like 3 rounds in the magazine and press down on the last round with your finger as you close the bolt. Just lift the bolt when ready to shoot ejecting a round into chamber.
