Do you carry with a round in the chamber?

[greenego]

I carry a revolver so I know my answer. As most people carry a semi-automatic I was thinking of getting one. A couple of weeks ago I was out of town with some friends. One of them also have carry permit and it turned into " you show me yours, I will show you mine". When he handed me his gun he said " there is not a round in the chamber". I didn't think to much about it then, but some days latter I realized , if he had to use his gun in a bad situation he would have to pull the slid to load the chamber. With a revolver you pull the trigger. I am not sure under a stressful situation if you want an extra step. How do most carry with or without a round in the chamber? Safety on of coarse.

Of course.

[Guest bkelm18]

To answer your question, yes I carry with one in the chamber. I carry an XD so there is no safety to switch off before firing. A gun without one in the chamber is worthless.

[Guest coldblackwind]

yup, I carry a glock, so no safety to switch off here either

I will have to pass this on to my friend. I was kind of thinking the same thing but I didn't know about the safety.

Why carry if you do not have a round chambered?

I always carry with a chambered round!

[nightrunner]

a gun without one chambered is no better than a rock

I can get mine out of the holster resonably fast if need be but to pull one in the chamber idont think so .So ialways carry one in the pipe. Ihave a taurus PT24/7 pro in 45acp. it has a safty its easy to take off safty while pulling.
