It's a factor that has been debated, that's for sure.
I dunno. Most of the cold guys insist that there's never a reason to have a round chambered.
If I were in open country where by definition, there'd be time to set up the shot, there might not be any reason to chamber- I can see that. Likewise, on a horse or cliff climbing, where the force of a fall could be greatly multiplied over what a person could generate, same thing.
