OK, lets give this one a fair shake, while I personally do not endorse condition 3 carry, there are those that do. The topic of Condition 1 vs. Condition 3 has been beaten to death time and time again. For those that choose to carry condition 3, they should be able to discuss methods that will enable them to accomplish their desired tasks without the thread turned into a debate on C1 vs. C3, that's called Thread Hi-jacking and we do actually have an infraction for it. If you do not have anything to add related to the topic of this thread: "...your gun is now unchambered, what methods has your training brought you that seem to work the best for chambering a round quickly and successfully?" don't post as it will be removed.

Going to go about this a different way in hopes that some useful information can be generated without the chambered vs unchambered argument and antics.
Whether you carry chambered or unchambered doesn't matter - the question is your gun is now unchambered, what methods has your training brought you that seem to work the best for chambering a round quickly and successfully?
I personally practice carrying unchambered so this topic is important to me (and others who choose this method), so instead of bickering about this being a non-preferred method by most, lets discuss the techniques used to chamber a round.
Those who carry with one in the hole will benefit from this discussion in case their loaded round goes 'click' and not 'boom', those who carry without one in the hole will benefit from learning new techniques.
So far I've practiced the following:
Drawing and chambering a round in one fluent motion using my clear hand to grab the slide once 'clearing' my clothes.
Video here for a better representation, it's not me - but closely resembles what I do:
YouTube - Condition 3 Quick-Draw Practice: Glock 26
I also practice one handed racking using the sole and belt methods, will be adding the 'behind the knee' method soon to see if it works for me.
