Walther P99- no safety
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
Chambered
I feel very confident in my ability to access and carry my weapon in such a way as to avoid an ND or AD. I have never tried but I wonder what it would take to get a SIG229 to AD - a drop on a hard tile floor I highly doubt would do it. Granted my military experience with pistols was with the Beretta M9 and not a SIG. Anyone out there care to shed some light on their experience with this - not anecdotally please... Just first hand experience.
My thoughts are, as stated before, that I want the least amount of motion necessary to put a round (or rounds) on target. My combat experiences taught me that you have to maintain some semblance of safety but I am in the camp with a bunch here that my finger is safety enough. One of the few good things about relying on your weapons 100% of the time (in combat) to stay alive is to have gained a sincere appreciation and respect for them that you don't get being back in society.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." -John Stewart Mill
I've dropped my M&P 40c with a round chambered, many times. I've also dropped my full size CZ 75B down some stairs while cocked and locked.

Sounds like some interesting stores Stu?Originally Posted by Stuart

Nah, those are the most interesting parts. With the CZ, I was jumping up the stairs as far as I could, and the retention of the holster was so bad, that the gun just popped out and fell back down the (wood) stairs. It got everyone's attention in the room...

I was playing horseshoes once while wearing a horrible OWB with no lock. The horseshoe grabbed the grip and the shoe and gun both went flying towards the stick... I rang the horseshoe. No ND or AD though... must've been a fail that my handgrenade didn't go off... I must be doing it wrong again. Gotta love my Glock.
I guess after reading a few of these post I see why I wear a Serpa holster.

So you can get sand stuck in the release mechanism at the most inopportune time?

Exactly-I look for the negative side in everything.

Must be a mathematician.
