Press check
Well, do you? Some times. But with the M&P, there’s no need.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

No.
My self-defense firearm always has a live round in the chamber, unless I’m at the range, or cleaning it.
“Stop touching it!”

Every time I take possession of it…even when simply changing clothes where the gun is in my sight the whole time.

I carry an LC9 with a trigger kit and night sights. The MA compliant model has a physical loaded chamber indicator. I do check it to make sure its up and I do tug on the mag, but no press checking necessary here.

Carry Guns, usually but not always because they are not unloaded.
Gamer Guns, always press check after loading.

I don’t trust a safety, and I don’t trust a gadget. I gotta see.

I open the revolver cylinder. Same thing?

I touch the round since I make ready in the dark.

Loaded chamber indicator (the extractor) on my Glock is adequate to convince me the gun is still loaded.

BANG! Uh, yeah, there was one in there.

Press check all you want. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY it can or will result in bullet setback.
I do it only rarely and usually only when I’m handling multiple guns one after the other on the range.
