carry with a round chambered??

[Guest Rem_700]

Well do ya?I haven't got my permit yet,but i was pondering the idea last night and wondered if anyone carries without a round chambered.

[creeky]

Yeah...

One in the chamber, de-cocked... manual safety off.

[bteague2]

I keep a round in the chamber because I don't want to ruin the finish because I had to beat someone to death with my pistol.

[Guest EasilyObsessed]

Yup, matter of fact, I don't think I know a single person who doesnt.

Dude... that cracked me up! Seriously! That hit me just right!

[Wrangler]

Round in the chamber on my primary and one in my back up. If I had to pull it, I don't want to have to worry about chambering a round and being. unprepared.

[G27]

Always.

[Guest archerdr1]

I don't know what kind of sense that would make, If there is not a round chambered and you get into a situation, you have to pull your gun, chamber a round, point, and shoot. By that time, I could have at least 8 rounds fired .

thats as good a reason as I have ever heard.

[Guest Loaded247]

Always....wouldn't even consider doing it any other way...

That is awesome!

Yep, one in the chamber, ready to go.

[Punisher84]

I think alot of people without training are scared of it at first, but once you realize that it's not gonna go bang without you doing something to it, you'll be fine.

[Guest Astra900]

Wheel gun here. Chamber has to be loaded or it's just a paper weight.

[frontier737]

If you don't have one chambered risk being in a "click" fight, now that would suck.

[Guest 2HOW]

Nah, its too easy that way.

[Volzfan]

I've been reading all of these stories in the newspaper lately about those of us who carry weapons being a threat to society that I have stopped putting bullets in my gun.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Yes, I got my bullet out, Andy.

[E4 No More]

Orrrr, you could always ask the gentleman if he'd be kind enough to give you just a tic while you chamber a round. I'm sure he'd oblige just to make things fair.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Or you can hope that racking the slide on your semiautomatic will scare them off. Same with cocking the hammer on a revolver to get to a chambered cylinder.

[Guest clownsdd]

Like bteague2 said, without a round chambered it's nothing more that a club or an object to be thrown.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Yeah, I got that, thus the rolling eyes. Kinda like the how you do you leave your home defense shotgun thread. Sorry for the confusion.

[Fallguy]

This question again.....

Yes, one in the chamber...even in my Glock.

[Guest SUNTZU]

You sir, are a brave man. I keep the magazine in one pocket and the glock on the opposite side of my body in the holster...just to keep from shooting my butt. Glocks are dangerous!

You sir need to get some serious help. training would be my suggestion. I know this site sucks in people with no sense. But at least , my GOD read the info on the internet. There is plenty there to fill that hollow spot. GOD bless you and stay away from me with that gun.

Dude, you gotta start quoting people so we know who you're being all crazy in the direction of...

On Topic: Yes, always. Back when I carried a DA/SA Sig, it was hammer down round in the chamber. With the G19, a round in the chamber. Now, with my USP9c, I carry cocked and locked.
