I just wanted to conduct a quick poll to find out in what condition you carry your firearm in. If you could take the poll, I would appreciate it. Any added information anyone can provide, would be helpful.
Currently - I am in ''condition Irwin'' ......... snub, fully stoked!!
If I am using a P series tho then ... well, a sorta cheat in a way ... cos they are both DC .. and so they are ....... one in chamber and full mag ..... but of course require a D/A to ''set em off'' ..... but no safety to worry about!
Nice thing about the new generation of Tupperware guns. They are easy to carry with one in the chamber or just a slide rack away from readiness.
Some weeks ago I had a bonafide nut job come pound on my front door. I took the time to rack my Glock slide before going out to meet him. The sound through the closed door seemed to levitate him right off the porch and he was very polite standing way back in the yard when I opened the door to talk. With the Glock in my pocket it was one of those 2 million cases a year of nonlethal self defence nobody ever reads about.
My carry guns are either SIGs, which have a disconnect and firing pin block, or 1911A1, which goes C&L, so I'm comfy with one in the tube. All in all, safety is in the mind of the user, not some mechanical device.
I carry all my auto's loaded but not chambered. I was taught to draw and chamber while bringing the weapon up to the target. When I carry a 1911 it's cocked and locked.
I can't carry yet, but i'm 100% sure that it would be my bersa with safety off and a round chambered (7+1)
Back home i keep my pistols in a locked draw so i have a loaded mag and nothing in the chamber of my HK USP .40. This is because i'm not often home and more often in my dorm. When i get my own place the gun will be ready to go with one in the chamber. This is because my own place will be in the city. My HD shotgun never has anything in the chamber but a full mag tube. This is because i want to rack the slide at the top of the stairs to scare off any wrongdoers before i have to put it "in service"
