I will say I'm less fond of safeties, Cocked and locked or not.

for me its not that I'm less fond of safeties. I think at least for me its time to change my selection of holster. I love the one I use now, but the sweat shield gets in my way of getting to the safety sooner. plus it would be easier to get my grip quicker if I had just a bit more space between the gun and my body. I think its time for me to go holster shopping. And otherwise just practice draw and shoot more (something I don't do alot of)

Yeah, yeah, that was my one.

I've decided to carry my M9 cocked and unlocked, that way I'm at the same readiness as I was when carrying my Glock. I've found it is just as safe as my Glock in or out of the holster.

I'm not sure I'm ready for THAT step, but if it works for you :rokwoot:

OK.... I'm not gonna stay up waiting on these videos to import from my phone any longer tonight. I'm starting Zombieland on Netflix while I fall asleep. I'll get the pics and vids up tomorrow.

Laterz.

I only had one. Which sucked, but it wasn't HORRIBLE.

I'm not going to say it's unreliable yet.

I'm going to practice these drills more, and if it happens regularly, then I'll agree.

From what I saw when taking down Kimmi's FNX, I don't think the workmanship on the pistol is bad at all. In fact I liked the gun. The feed ramp is a bit truncated, but essentially the design is the same as virtually every other modern DAO pistol including my own. I just tend to think the slide weight is tad too light. I could be wrong though - so you should absolutely continue doing the drills and find out more.

It could also be that more practice is needed in getting a higher grip on the pistol coming out of the holster. The closer the web of the hand is to the bore axis the better the pistol will cycle. Being absolutely perfect on the draw is quite difficult in stressful situations though - even with regular practice (as is the case with me and I still muffed 2 out of 3).

Totally unacceptable - you were taught today to never quit the fight....so take your sorry arse back over to the iPhone and get busy

Get some rest.....I need some too.

Anybody have the smashing pumpkin video/photos? Hope & Change (perhaps it should have said Hosed & Chains) will never be the same again!

I was almost thinking the same thing with my 1911's. But I think instead I'm going to try a different holster and just practice my draw and shoot more.

I think it is not safe to do that with 1911s... I think the hammer will be resting right on the firing pin. Not sure, though.

It was throwing some good ones!

 

[RelicHound]

I didn't mean hammer down. It was just a thought though. Don't think I'm going to try that one. First going to try a holster without a sweat shield that ends up getting in my way of getting to the safety to disengage it when I draw. My current IWB tuckable has a sweatshield, and while the holster is super comfortable and protects the gun well. Its not going to do me much good if its getting in the way when I go to draw quickly.

So thinking about trying either a different IWB, along with a couple OWB setups.

Truth. It's either cocked and locked, cocked and ready to fail, or sitting on an empty chamber.
