Just curious because my wife and I have differing opinions
1. Do you carry with a round chambered?
2. Do you carry a gun with a manual safety?
3. Do you carry with the manual safety on or off?
Reasons?
My response:
1. Yes, always. I might have to draw and shoot with only one arm/hand available. I might not have time to draw and chamber a round. I might not want the noise of the slide racking if in a very sticky situation.
2. Both my carry guns have manual safeties, but that fact did not affect my purchases. I would certainly carry one without a manual safety.
3. Depends. Ruger P345, hammer down, double action, safety off. Taurus Millenium Pro, single action only, safety on, I can operate the safety and shoot one handed. My feeling is, the most effective safety is the connection between the brain and trigger finger.
Thanks for your replies.
