Real world the only time u see a magazine+1 situation is a tactical reload, after uve shot at something and u want to be sure you have enough rounds for any further threats. It's taught (I know this because I teach it) but its not a load your going to be loaded with unless the shit hits the fan and ur engaged. Hell, 90% of the time the military is in a closed bolt load (Bolt forward, magazine in, nothing chambered). theirs a few exceptions of course, AF Cops carry one chambered and on fire for the M9 but still dont bother with the swapping for a fresh magazine.

I think a world full of flesh eating zombies would have me keep one in the chamber. Hell I keep one in the chamber when I hunt or go on long trips with my family. This isn't walking around base. This is after a zombie Apocalypse. You are 24/7 engaged in that scenario. That's what safety's are for.
