Round in Chamber

[chezuki]

Wow, he's got some goodies in that video. A revolver can't fire unless the trigger is all the way to the back and is drop safe? Depends. I *think* he's got a Police Positive there, but I'm not a Colt expert. If it is, it would have the "positive lock" and should be drop safe, but saying all revolvers are is simply untrue.

I want that 19 minutes of my life back. I should have bailed at "Glocks aren't safe to carry chambered".

You are more patient than I am. I didn't make it through the whole thing. When he went into the tangent about how Colts and S&Ws are "backwards" in how the cylinder latch works and which way it rotates I was done.

I used to watch those guys until I saw more than 30 seconds of the first video I ever watched.

They aren't doing us any favors.

What do you carry? Does it have a safety [strike]on it[/strike]?

A good knife would be a better weapon than a handgun without a round in the chamber especially in CQC.

Here's a look at someone who was sure he could chamber a round when he needed to.

Had to find it on YT but that didn't end well not having one in the pipe

 

[Jerchap2]

Always have one in the chamber so it is ready to use.

Lol. I tried to rep you, but I need to spread it around.

No one is infallible, myself included. I only ask that a reasonable effort be made to type intelligently.

Always carry with a round in the chamber and the safety on. Easy enough to manipulate.

Go with your gut. If you feel more comfortable without a round in the chamber, carry that way until you feel differently. Don't let anyone convince you to do something that you are not comfortable with. You are not less of a man by carrying with the chamber empty. The whole of IDF and many security services do it the same way.

Do what you're ready to do. Having said that, the empty chamber carry in the IDF is situational. Empty chamber is the norm UNLESS they're in an area where they might expect to 'make contact': combat, border patrol etc. Likewise, open-bolt weapons are NOT carry cocked. Pistols are usually carried w/empty chamber on the premise that they're not offensive weapons that you'd carry while looking for a fight. Keep in mind that their tactical situation could be very different.

Then of course, there is the Makarov with a Spetnatz holster. Very interesting rig.
