Hello all. I've been lurking at THR for awhile, but now have a question I wanted to ask.
I've heard that chambering a round repeatedly can cause setback of the bullet, which in turn can cause kabooms.
If one was going to carry a round in the chamber does setback become a concern? For instance, do you eject the chambered round every night when you wipe your carry gun down (possibly resulting in setback when the round is chambered latter), leave it in and just steer clear of the trigger are while you wipe the slide down (seems dangerous), or just not wipe the gun down (possibly leading to rusting of the parts exposed to perspiration from concealed carry)?
I hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance for any advice you all can offer.
