So did the other guy... It kinda evened the odds.Even in our wild west days the gunslingers had to cock their weapon to fire.
I find it interesting that so many of you are so ready to rock. How many on this site have actually been in a situation requiring a quick draw to a trigger pull? Even in our wild west days the gunslingers had to cock their weapon to fire.
If you are not comfortable carrying with a round in the chamber you may be carrying the wrong gun, you may not understand the safety features engineered into your gun, or you don't trust yourself or your ability to produce your weapon without it somehow firing before you want it to...
...Carrying the quality self defense handgun and practice should lead to confidence that will allow you to carry a handgun that is loaded and ready. All firearms require safe handling at all times and the best safety is between your ears.
For criminals are the only ones who can chose whether or not to carry a gun loaded or not due to them being the ones who are going to commit the crime.

Last I checked you just pull the trigger on a revolver to shoot no cocking needed. Or thats how it was done in the westerns I watched growing up. They didn't have semi-automatic handguns in the westerns I watched.
depends on what I'm carying. The Glock-yes, the LCP no;
This puzzled me. I own both, or at least the original P3AT which the LCP was copied from, and a Glock 23. I would think the Glock would be much more apt to "go off" than the LCP, unless that is, you happen to carry it in a pocket with no holster. Just wondering.leasantry:

When I first started carrying a modern semi-automatic, I too was nervous about having it chambered. So here is a suggestion to those who are concerned with carrying with one in the pipe.
Rack your slid with out the mag in place, then insert the mag. Now go about your natural daily activity's. Then check the gun regularly to see if you have had any accidental discharges. After doing this for awhile you will start to feel safer with the internal safeties. This can also help identify if your handaling your weapon safely, and help teach you how to keep your finger off the trigger when handling your firearm. And if you do find your weapon has discharged while safely in your holster then you need to have it inspected by a competent gunsmith.
A proper holster will prevent any accidental discharges, along with proper handling.
I hope this helps. Be safe, that is priority one.
