No, I don’t check it. Not normally, anyway. I take check to mean something like the word inspect in this context.
I put the holster on my belt, the gun was checked/verified condition when it went into the holster initially

Sure, i check for dust and cobwebs, make sure no jelly on the grip! The blade no peanut butter on the blade! No, seriously, I clear, visually inspect and reload and chamber, everyday I holster! No safety!! Knife clips to pocket where my keys are, check to see how smooth the opening and how well it stays secure!!!

This brings up a question I have. Ive seen over and over agin that rechambering a cartridge too often can cause bullet setback. When I clear and reload my EDC, I put the ejected cardridge back into the magazine lower in the stack, so I never have a cartridge getting rechambered too often. I check for bullet setback and have never seen it. My SD ammo is pretty expensive, so I don’t want to have to shoot it away very often if I dont have to, just because of excessive rechambering.
Do you do anything in particular to prevent setback, or is it a non issue?

I view some of the above, personally, as basically all negative and no positive.
Additional risk of an ND every time you administratively handle a firearm, and if you know how to load and check the firearm today, and then you put it in a holster, why do you have to unload and load and check it tomorrow? What is gained by chambering a new round today vs the one you chambered yesterday, or last month?
I especially wouldn’t recommend manipulating the trigger on a gun, every day, when you are not intending to fire it. Not unless it’s dry fire in a safe direction with a triple-checked unloaded gun with no live ammo in the same room

A while back I read on this site a post from a plain clothes officer. Each day before leaving for work he removed his firearm from its holster and cleared it. He then performed 3 to 4 draws and presentation from concealment, then reloaded and went to work. I have followed this routine ever since.

I always check EDC every morning, the moment I put the stuff on me.
As one smart person said: Always know the condition of your firearm.

I do my inspections/checks monthly when I clean. Whether I’ve been to the range or not! My firearm is always in condition one, there are no bullet fairies. It was cleaned, inspected and chambered the first of every month, yesterday, today nothing has changed!
