How do you carry your CSX

... Do you carry with a round in the chamber, "cocked and locked" ...

I am not knocking the gun. I'm just curious how others are doing it.

Have you had Professional Training with the CSX? I recommend Thunder Ranch and its local to you.

LEOs will say one thing and I would point out that the Department I retired from. We had our own Range so I got a new pistol I could shoot on my lunch break, after work, before work and on my day off for free. If you go "cocked and locked" you will need a lot of practice.

I'm not talking about holsters ...

Holster is a big part of it. OWB holster is the best option if you ever have to deploy a handgun during a Lethal Threat.

After reading the comments I can only guess that my skill level is significantly lower than many of the other members of the forum. For me, betting I can easily one handedly rack a pistol while being punched in the face, kicked in the ribs, or holding onto someone's wrist while they're trying their best to gut me sounds risky. It does appear however that for most of my respondents none of this would be an obstacle. It's good to know that there are real superhero's out there.

IMHO opinion you need to carry your EDC ready to fire one handed instantly. If you’re not confident enough to carry a SA auto cocked and locked you need to consider another option, like a revolver or DA only auto.
Training is key to confidence. Internet tricks are useless.
Now, when I was on the job we trained extensively to operate our handguns under duress, including one hand reloads and emergency slide racking on belts, shoes etc. That was training to prepare for emergencies, not every day carry procedure.
Train with your chosen weapon until you are confident and don’t carry it until you are.
Best of luck.

I was finally able to convince my 84 yr-old mother to carry a rd in the chamber, but only after I demonstrated her lack of prowess in the foot-stomp and heel-strike arena.
She was especially inept at the brachial-stun.

Carry it the way ... you feel comfortable and confident with .

You need not concern yourself with how " others feel " during a gunfight they will not be there to help you out ... or condemn your methods .

Do what feels correct and right for you and practice untill your methods are second nature .

Be wary of foolish advice ... it can get you killed .

Cocked and locked - just like the striker-fired plastic guns that the rest of the world is so crazy about (eg. Glocks, P365, etc).

Except they’re cocked and Unlocked
