No one carrying a pistol in Condition 3 has EVER had an AD.
You will know when you are ready for Condition 1 carry.

The idea that you will be so close as to "need both hands" is an objection with little merit.
At arm's length distances you are in need of the martial arts, not the shooting arts.
Drawing your guns at a "one hand distance" borders on dangerous and foolish, for good reason. At arm's length distances your goal should be disarming, evasion and gaining enough distance to draw (and use both hands, btw).

Carry handgun w/round in chamber. good or not?
My wife and I recently started talking about my carrying of the gun, and she stated that it is not wise to carry a gun with a round in the chamber, whether the gun has a safety or not.
Yes, that's how it's done, and it is done as part of the draw. But it does need to be practiced diligently, so it becomes second nature and reflexive -- smoothly and without conscious thought. Some good, professional training will help lay the proper foundation. Training shows you what and how to practice.Thx said:...To fire, I assume one would flip up the slide-mounted safety (perhaps done as part of the draw) and use DA for the first shot....
