How do you CCW? (Poll)

[sniper7]

On top of the tape measure I would recommend everyone take their concealed gun with the mag in, nothing in the chamber and have someone take the time it takes for you to draw, chamber and then get on target.
I bet most people add at least 1/2 to a full second depending on their operation of the slide.
That might take the new threat range to 27 feet or so depending on how fast the guy/girl is.

Not Chambered with Safety Off*

I know the arguements for a chambered round, but do not feel I have enough holster work to leave a round chambered.

*technically there is a grip safety on my XDm, since I don't have to think about it went with safety off in the poll

[MrPrena]

Depends on what I carry:

-Safety off and Hammer down , chambered
-Chambered (no safety no ext hammer)

1911 iwb cocked and locked condition 1

Springy IWB xd40 sub condition 1


More or less anything I carry is condition 1.
Bad guy covers 21 feet and enters my danger zone in less than 2 seconds and im NOT going to be fumbling around with racking slides and other nonsense.

My personal opinion, if you're not comfortable carrying condition one, you probably shouldnt be carrying concealed or get more training so you are.

Chambered with safety on. I carry a Glock 26 or 17.

Dispite what others have posted Glocks and XDs do have safetys, you just release the safety when drawn and trigger onthe finger.

the 26 is one of the few glocks I truly like!

[ntgtyper]

either my lcp chambered no safety or my glock 23c chambered no safety

I like to think that it is the BG who chooses for you whether or not he gets shot.

Most of the time that should be the case, but if people aren't prepared and are fumbling chambering a round and taking it off safety you may never get the chance to make the final decision.

Dont get me wrong, I advocate full hot safety on, if applicable. That is how I carry my G32
or 1911.
