One in the chamber?

[Lex_Luthor]

Nice to see we converted at least one!

The coffee guy was supposed to show I was being facetious. I definitely wouldn't be carrying without a mag, OR with an empty chamber.

ETA: that video is intense. Definitely worth a watch for someone who carries, chamber empty

Only cops on T.V. shows like CSI New York chamber a round when they draw their gun from holster.

You know, if someone needs a period of carrying with an empty chamber to acustom themselves to carrying a loaded gun. I'm not going to make fun of them.

I always carry my Glock 19 hot in a real holster that covers the trigger.

I have a couple of friends and family who are new to carrying and were concerned about carrying their Glocks hot. I shared that jewelry store robbery vid with them and told then to carry with a snap cap in the chamber for a couple of weeks and tell me if it goes off. Most of them do it and realize that if your carry rig is what it should be this is a non-issue and more mental than anything else.

That's fine. It does not refute what I wrote.

Wasn't intended to, nearly agreeing and mentioning something that I have shared with others with the same concern.

Definitely one in the chamber. Such a big disadvantage if you don't.

Crazy video

Always one in the chamber - carry a club if you're worried!

"9mm.. Safety always off"

Yeah you should keep safety on.

For those that carry empty chamber.

What are your concerns? What led you to this style of carry? I ask this with respect. It is not my first choice, but a rational discussion shouldn't be too hard.
