[Chevy 2 65]

• FBI stat: the typical gun fight lasts 3 seconds with 3 rounds being fired within 3 yards.
• Not carrying one in chamber makes every gun a two-handed gun

Of course one in the pipe. What am I, Schmendrick from Mossad or something?

 

[Mountain]

Of course you carry with one in the pipe. You never know what situation you may find yourself in...

But… if I don’t rack the slide when I draw, how will the bad guys know I’m serious if they don’t hear the slide slam shut

You mean go into battery.

empty chamber and two snap caps in the top of the mag in case the bad guy gets my gun.

You gotta make the sound with your mouth as you draw!

When I'm in Boston, or higher risk areas, I tend to carry my S&W Shield Plus in 9mm with 1 in the chamber and 9 rds in the 10 rd mag. Otherwise, full 10 rd mag, no rd in chamber. So I'm voting No, because I generally stay out of Boston and the like. I do understand it's a bit slower, but I'm more comfortable that way.

Why not one in the pipe and 10 in the mag.
What are you afraid of?

 

[Ranger007]

I don’t wear a seat belt all the time. I figure if I need it I will put it on right before the crash.

 

[Broc]

Is this real life?

I think everyone getting COVID is making people stupid.

I am basing this on the recent amount of stupid threads on NES asking about high cap mags, leaving guns unattended, carrying condition 1 or not ...

Oh and don’t forget about the sweat pants thread.

 

[Broc]

I always carry one in the chamber, and top off the mag. To the OP, I think you'd be better off going either one in the chamber all the time, or none in the chamber all the time, not mixing it up.

This, 100%. Mixing it up is a bad idea. You will need it one day and will rack the slide, wasting an expensive round. Have you seen the price of 9mm?

Hey, I always Mexican carry when wearing sweat pants and/or warm up pants!

I was agonizing last week over whether to use hex head or flathead screws to install my 1911 grips. I needed input about which one would make the gun more accurate and reliable.

I stopped myself in the nick of time from starting a thread about it.

Dude, I have tried that, doesn't work great. Ankle carry for sweatpants and flip flops.

Pocket carry could work, but depends on the pocket design.




Ps: I wore flip flops to a NES shoot.

 

[one-eyed Jack]

I just carry DAO. Jack.

That's why I always keep a target round at the top of my mag.

I hear the Seals use star head screws. It is the only way to be sure the bad guys will not be able to disassemble your gun during handcombat.

No, I do not carry an unloaded gun. I also wear pants with the zipper in the front. That is all.

I thought you only use flatheads if you can make them line up?

See?

I shoulda started a damn thread…

 

[Broc]

Get some Nitro Wood and walk around condition 1.

 

[Knob Creek]

If you do not have one in the chamber and you plan on using your support hand to work the slide you better be sure that support hand is free. Not holding a dog leash, bag, package, child’s hand, door handle, flashlight and on and on….

 

[whacko]

I thought that Condition One only applied to SAO semi autos like the 1911.

It does.

 

[kalash]

I carry with one in the chamber and an empty mag but I don't see that as a poll option.

Or defending yourself against the shit head your about to shoot.

Hold on Mr mugger back off a second so I can use my left arm to rack my slide.

Makes about as much sense, actually.

Winner! Jack.
