I carry a gun with no bullets. That way nobody gets shot.
I like to carry it disassembled, but thats just my personal preference.

I am looking at a used and modified M&p. I love the gun, it's exactly what I've been looking for. It even has a few upgrades. It has the apex trigger, threaded barrel, extended mag, and magwell funnel. I don't care much for the magwell funnel, but that's beside the point.
The gun doesn't have a safety. Unless you count the trigger safety. I don't consider that a safety, but we won't get into that here.
So my question is whether anybody else carries a gun that has no safety. Or only has the trigger safety. I'm a little hesitant since I'm not quite used to it. But I also thought if the gun never leaves the holster, I should never worry about an accident, right?
Thoughts and advice would be great! Thanks
If you are really unsure about it, just carry Israeli style for a while.
Dry fire the gun, insert loaded mag, place in holster.
You will have to rack the slide in your draw sequence, and you have to practice that.
If the Israeli's can do it, you can.
Nobody really likes the idea of carrying without a round in the chamber (especially on INGO), but there are a couple small advantages.
I have done it when I carry with the kids around. It's just safer and I've practiced drawing & racking.
Also, if you are in a physical fight and your gun is taken, the bad guy will assume it's loaded but won't be able to immediately shoot you with your own gun.
That hesitation might give you a fighting chance to get your gun back and defend yourself with out being shot with it first.
I'm not saying carrying Israeli style is better, it just an option.
But like any option you choose, you need to practice it.
GLOCKS are a good gun for a beginner. Four safety commandments, aiming, and trigger pull- K I S S.
