Round in Chamber

ATM, you keep vampires' hours

I sometimes carry with up to three in the chamber, one is just too easy.

That is why you are the master.

IMHO concealed carry with a Glock, or similar striker fired pistol without a safety, is not wise, especially with an IWB holster.

care to elaborate? not instigating, just curious.

I think what most of these guys are saying is that it takes away from the sexiness if you don't carry on "Maximum Danger".

You think wrong. Corrected above.

Good one!

ATM OC's a "drilling". And just to be odd, he's chosen 2x 16ga + 9.3mm x 72mm as his cartridges of choice.

Then why is it "not wise" to carry a Glock?

This thread is starting to make my head hurt.

You need to carry in a manner you are comfortable with. Just realize you have a paperweight in your hand when you draw. Don't plan on a criminal opting to give you any time to think or act. They stack the deck against you as it is. But again, do what you are comfortable with.

Get with the times, man!

Thanks all. I think I will look for a good holster to protect the trigger and start carrying with a round in chamber. Sounds like it is more common than I thought.

wise choice

Couple days ago, as I was getting out of my truck in my driveway, a large pit bull type dog approached me, I'd never seen the dog before. I had a 6 pack of beer, in bottles, and my lunch cooler, so I switched both items to my left hand so I could draw my 745 (with one in the pipe) if need be, no way I could have racked a round into the chamber without dropping my beer, and that wasn't gonna happen.

Oh, and that big dog was very non aggressive, he had a collar and looked to be well fed, but when I went back out to see if I could get a name off his collar he was gone.

I like your priorities and your choice of firearms.

Glad to hear your beer was okay.

Well...

I keep reading people tell him to keep a round in the chamber when hes out and about. IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THIS THEN DONT! Thats an accident waiting to happen. An easy practice and training for this is to wear your gun with a round in the chamber when you are at home or where you know there is almost a zero chance you will have to draw your weapon. Get used to the idea knowing there is a round there.

Snow globes are badass.

Somebody disagrees...

Round in the chamber. Always have, always will. Never had that concern. Because

of course initial practice and safety are of paramount importance. but then so is having one in the chamber.
