[Sylvain]

Not sure if Esrice already posted this one or not.

I have seen a few threads about this issue so I thought it could be interesing to share it with you guys.

Maybe Que, our own "anti-Yeager" could make a video response on how carrying with an empty chamber is the only way to go.

I was just watching combat pawn, he was in the episode shooting a mini uzi upside down with the butt of the stock against his forehead....

I don't have the stomach to watch another JY video. I feel nauseous already.

 

[GBuck]

This video is worth watching, solely for they shout out to Shay.

Hey, I'm not anti-Yeager. j

Anybody who carries without a round in the chamber is unsafe, IMHO.

Hold up. Strike my last post. Did he just indicate that Mossad is not a legitimate elite special forces group?

 

[millsusaf]

I am not necessarily a Yeager fan but he is right on this point. If one is not comfortable enough carrying with one in the chamber, one should really re-evaluate why they are carrying a gun at all. My Grandmother always told me, "Anything worth doing is worth doing right." .....and she is right.

Hey, I'm not anti-Yeager.

Well I meant that you do the opposite of what he does, not that you dont like him.
Like saying that all guns should be 1911 (well all blue guns anyway) instead of him saying they should all be Glocks like he does.

I think he said that the Mossad is the only group that carries with an empty chamber.

I read that they are actually moving away from the "Israeli carry", it actually made sense in the early 70's ( not sure of the date), when they were mostly using used and old semi-auto pistols who were not the safest to carry with one in the chamber.
Now with modern (new designs and new guns) weapons like the Glocks and others there is really no reason to practice the "Israeli carry" but some still do it because they were trained that way.

Is it just me or has he seemed to be neutered of late?

No, he actually said "no legitimate special forces group carries without one in the chamber"

Oh ok, they are not legitimate then, but im not actually sure that they carry without one in the chamber like I said in my previous post.

I was just commenting on what he said, not how they carry

 

[Shay]

Thanks for the mention, James!

As for empty chamber carry, I believe that it is a Mindset issue. If you do not trust yourself or your gun, you shouldn't not be carrying.

 

[GBuck]

If you do not trust yourself or your gun, you shouldn't not be carrying.

This thread will not tollerate redundancy in this thread.

 

[Roadie]

I want a Shay's Prayer shirt, but I cannot wear MY shirts two sizes too small like Mr. Yeager

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Maybe he should stop by the drug store and pick up some allergy medicine before filming. Or maybe wait until the coughing, sneezing, snorting spasms have passed.

 

[TopDog]

The gun culture is not only experiencing a expanding base of enthusiasts but a equal expansion of "experts".

Before I go any further I carry a G22 with a round in the chamber, I dont think its a good idea to carry with a empty chamber.

Now that we have a multitude of experts popping up everywhere you often find conflicting information. This is just another example of why I find all these experts tiresome...

Here is a gentleman that has the opposite opinion. And I believe if you listen to enough of his videos you will hear him refer to his sandbox cred.

I just watched that one, how did he walk out with a SBR & maybe a can?

You're supposed to carry a gun with bullets in it? I don't want to kill anyone, just scare them away!
