thats the only why to carry what good is it not read to shoot

I had a Fire "FireStar" a long time ago. Great gun. I could hit with it, never jamed and was fun to shoot! I carried it one in the chamber hammer down. Which meant I had to either pull the hammer back, or rack the slide. I always thought if there was any trouble I would just ease the hammer back. I was never comfortable with carring it cocked and locked since it didn't have a grip safety.

Mine only held six, and I had a situation where I had two to individuals approaching the car and had no time to ease the hammer back. I had to get out of the car really quick, so I was going to have to rack the slide after the draw.

It wasn't long after that I got rid of it. I never wanted to be put into that situation

again. Crazy. Everything was fine... then all of a sudden it turned to crap. Like a

blink of an eye.

Replaced it with an USP compact.

But hey man... you do what you think is best for you.

See if you can field strip it and look close at the frame and rails.They were bad about cracking frames if the recoil spring was not changed every 500 rds or so.They were meant to be shot very little and carried a lot.

Just for giggles, What was the asking price on the PD? If you don't mind.

$439. on gunbrokers it looks like new, very little wear between barrel and slide contact area.
