round in the chamber.... always.
Looks as if this thread will NEVER die.
Night Of The Living Thread...![]()
If it ever does, it will start in a new thread a week later. (I haven't been a member here that long and I think this is the 3rd or 4th that I've seen started)Or.... there could be more than 1 thread at the same time. Look at what "CCW sound check" has become.
So , should I get a CCW badge or nt?

This post is not meant to justify one method over another. I'm curious as to the general opinion on carry with a round chambered or not. Thoughts??

I have to go with "yes - yes - yes - yes - yes - yes."
Oh, I forgot my backup: "yes - yes - yes - yes - yes."
I had asked a similar question on 11-09-13. There were many very good responses.This post is not meant to justify one method over another. I'm curious as to the general opinion on carry with a round chambered or not. Thoughts??

I bought a SW1911 3" last week & only have 100 rounds through it so far. It's going to be my primary carry gun. I want to carry with a round in the chamber, magazine topped off, hammer fully cocked with the safety engaged. Is this correct? The handbook only states to not carry in the half cocked position. My limited experience at the range showed the weapon didn't always strip the first round from the top of the magazine when the slide was released, so I'd like it to be ready if the worst should happen.
My only other experience with a 1911 pistol was back in the late 70s when I was in the Coast Guard. We carried old Government models with an empty chamber.
This argument has been around and around and around and around and around the internet. I've come to the conclusion that it's your gun and your life, you decide and you live with the consequences
