 | One in the chamber? So, this was starting to get discussed in another thread, but I felt that it deserved its own. When you carry, do you have one chambered? Or do you not chamber a round? If you don't have one ready to go, why not? I've always carried with one chambered, never really thought about not carrying with a round in...so I'm just curious why some choose the other route?  |

   | Yes, I carry with a loaded chamber. Anything less is a paperweight, not a firearm, IMO.

| When I carry my 1911, I carry locked and cocked. When I carry my EDC Sig Sauer P239, I carry one in the chamber and the hammer decocked ( DA/SA ). I agree with shooter, why carry if your firearm isn't ready in a moments notice. Obtrusive safties or racking the slide is just too much to think about when your mind is in panic mode. Besides, any most well-made firearms are designed to carry with one in the chamber, pretty safe if you ask me.

 | I always carry with one in the chamber. I also make sure I carry my guns in good holsters that cover the trigger. Even my pocket guns are carried with one in the chamber. Again, the key is to have a good pocket holster that protects the trigger from accidents.

| I agree with all of the above. If I'm not going to carry one in the chamber then it's just a piece of metal (or whatever) that I could beat you with. I have always got a holster that covers the trigger, I'm not taking any chances, especially when I'm carrying at the 11-12 o'clock position! Just waiting to see what the other side of the story is... |

Always have one in the pipe or otherwise it's just a hammer or a good paper weight like shooter521 said.

| Always one in the pipe but at first I was afraid to do that, I have no safety on my M&P 9mm but I got used to it fast. You just need a good holster with a proper cover over the trigger.
