Who carries without one in the chamber?
I'll tell you - the one who will be at a tactical disadvantage in a confrontation, that's who.
I always carry with one in the chamber with the safety on not to mention extra clips.
I figure I can rack and load when needed.
External safeties have NO business on a defensive handgun.
do u shoot sideways too?I figure I can rack and load when needed.
BOOO!!!
I train, compete and carry cocked and locked. It is the best method FOR ME.
I still hold that belief. If it works for you, fine. It doesn't for me.
Same thing with OC. I can't think of any practical reason to CC. I think everyone should OC, but if they don't want to, that's fine, too.
None of my handguns have external safeties, and all my long guns are always kept on fire. I can't remember ever having used a safety, apart from the military.
What handguns do you carry?
Are your long guns Condition Zero with one in the chamber? What are they?
