Even if it did weaken a spring (which it doesn't) wouldn't that spring be worth the price?
If you don't have one in the chamber, you're doing it wrong.
Be always prepared and ready for potentially deadly encounters in your living-room. EBG
With a lot of home invasions in the Evansville area lately, I would like to keep a round in my 9mm chamber at all times. Is that something that will weaken the spring or anything? Being cocked all the time seems like it isnt healthy. What do you think?
In short time that it takes to put a round in the chamber in a defensive situation, a skilled criminal will kill you.
how about the bedroom, dining room, basement, or (my worst nightmare) on the toilet ?
Seriously though, always carry with one in the tube.
The only time the chamber should be empty is when cleaning the gun or between magazine changes. Can't think of a single good reason to have an empty gun. Just like an empty beer mug.. useless
