He had a loaded chamber. He said so from the start.Deanimator,
I would like the opportunity to talk to your guy in Dayton, someone with that experience is valuable info.
Not sure if this guy racks the slide or not, but you can see how his hand is on or near the slide enough that it could have been performed. I came up with this video in under 5 minutes so give me a break if not perfect. Not the kind of thing that is usually cataloged. And I hate that this guy hides behind a woman.

Always chambered. Can't rack the slide while trying to hold off an attacker at close distances. Have to be able to draw and shoot with one hand. I believe most self defense situations occur within about seven feet. How fast can an attacker cover seven feet while you're trying to draw and rack a slide? You could be using your off hand to ward them off while drawing your weapon whether that be a gun or a knife.

Where do people come up with this stuff...
Wow, just wow.
They should also consider the probability of such a thing occurring at all.
First, the rarity of needing to draw your pistol at all.
Then, doing so in a close quarters situation.
Then, in the midst of grappling with your opponent.
Seems pretty slim of a chance overall to just definitively say always carry a round in the chamber to me, but just my opinion.
I feel that if someone is not comfortable with doing something with a firearm, don't do it. Carry with one in the pipe or don't, but whatever you do, practice enough to maintain competencies and confidence in your method and equipment.
See post # 62.Deanimator,

"The gun was a glock model 36. carrying with one in the chamber probably saved my life because i was holding myself in the car with my left hand as they were trying to pull me out of the car no way i could have racked the slide"

Please, show me statistics on how often those carrying in non condition 0 and 1 are over powered and harmed by the perpetrator.
