What condition is your CCW in when you carry?

[Adam5]

S&W Snubbie 686-all cylinders stoked with .357 125s or SIG P-226 front pocket carry (after Summer's heat is gone), 1 in the breech and 15 in the magazine, hammer drop deployed and ready to go.

Isn't a 226 a little big for front pocket carry? It seems that a holstered 226 would be a little big for that.

 

[peacemaker45]

Cocked and locked for 1911, or CZ-75
Hammer down on empty chamber, other five loaded for SAA
Fully loaded for Ruger SA w/ transfer bar, or DA revolver.
round in chamber for DAO autos, like kahr, kel tec, etc.

Gunner

 

[jefnvk]

1911: cocked & locked
PPK: round in chamber, hammer decocked, safety off (DA)

 

[Hokkmike]

Loaded magazine, chamber empty. My own safety and that of those I care for is paramont.

 

[MustangHowie]

Sig; Chambered and decocked.
Glock; Chambered and cocked.

I don't carry anything with a saftey, because I am not used to them. I am affraid I would forget to take it off safe.

 

[P97]

Ruger P90 or P97 fully loaded and decocked. Just pull the trigger and Bang!

 

[mpmarty]

PT145 SA/DA eleven rounds of 185gr Barnes solid copper, ten in mag one up pipe and safety on. I carried 1911s for so many decades the old thumb wipe is second nature during a draw.

 

[CoRoMo]

Revolver: Loaded, hammer forward, no safety to speak of.

SemiAuto: Full magazine, nothing in the chamber, dry-fired / uncocked (sleeping).

 

[JesseL]

My Daewoo DH40 is carried with one in the chamber, cocked, hammer down, safety off (probably very confusing for those unfamiliar with the Daewoo "Triple Action" mechanism).

 

[RNB65]

Locked and loaded.

 

[evan price]

Sigs: Round chambered, mag topped off, decocked.
Striker-fired types: Chambered, mag not topped off.
Revolvers: all holes filled.

I like to draw and squeeze. No safeties, nothing to worry about.

 

[Autolycus]

evan price: Why dont you top off striker fired weapons?

 

[outofbattery]

My old G19's in pretty shabby condition.There's no finish left on the slide,the frame has a bunch of nicks and gouges and as long as it isn't too grubby,I don't usually bother cleaning it before reholstering.
It always has a 124 gr Gold Dot chambered and ready to go though.

[Michael_2112]

Revolver - DA fully loaded and ready to go.
1911 - Cocked and Locked (Condition 1)
Sig P228 - Round chambered, decocked and no external safety.

 

[sinistr]

whatever im carrying,it has no external hammers,no decockers,consistant trigger pull,one in the chamber....still so many to choose from.

 

[40SW]

90% of the time, I carry a DAO semi. Loaded and chambered always. BUG(backup gun) is always loaded and chambered as well.

 

[mavracer]

all my carry guns are in NRA good condition.
Ok I tried to let this thread go with a serious answer.

 

[Papaster]

Taurus PT145 (striker fired) with round in the chamber, manual safety off.

 

[Hokkmike]

Condition 3.

Safety always come first. The odds of an accident far outweigh the possibility of the necessity of actual use.

 

[Harvster]

S&W revolver....empty.....one round in my left shirt pocket.

 

[BayAreaTactical]

Always loaded. Why carry it if there is not one in the tube.

 

[fletcher]

1911 - Cocked and locked, round in chamber.
Other - Safety off (if present), round in chamber.

 

[General Geoff]

Safety always come first. The odds of an accident far outweigh the possibility of the necessity of actual use.

Why bother carrying a paperweight?


I carry my Walther with a round in the chamber, striker decocked so the first trigger pull is double action. All subsequent pulls are single action, and there is no external safety.
