How do you carry?

[CSORuger]

Most of the time I carry a Ruger sp101 with Gold Dot .357 hollow points.
there is not a saftey. Just point and pull the trigger.

Sometime carry a 9mm glock modifed to shoot conbon defensive rounds one in the chamber full magazine.

Using a Crossbreed pancake CC holster.

I carry my FNP with the hammr down. I also carry a PF9 wich is DAO.

I carry a Glock with one in the chamber and ready to go. I voted condition 0.

voted 0..
m&p 9c one in the chamber no external safety.

couldnt imagine carrying any other way. if you did need it do you really think you'll have time to rack the slide?

 

[Plinkuh]

I carry a Glock with one in the chamber and ready to go. I voted condition 0.

Same here

If I'm carrying my beretta tomcat, one chambered safety on.
If I'm carrying the S&W sigma, one chambered no safety except for the trigger like a glock.

Carry all my sidearms the same. Point and pull. I forgot my 1911 even had a thumb safety.

I've only read of a few firearms that have fired without a trigger pull, and I believe they were shotguns. It's called a slamfire, I believe.

When it comes to the pistol in your holster, it's not going to fire unless you pull the trigger.

The only time I've ever carried with a magazine in, safety on, and no round chambered was in the military. Completely different situation.

I carry an XD with one in the chamber. My weapon doesn't have a manual safety so I voted condition zero.

 

[Rflix]

Voted 0: Round chambered, no external safety.

Not real well worded poll--concerns only firearms that have a hammer and manual safety.

If I am carrying a striker fired semi auto, chamber is loaded, and if it has a manual safety, it is on. If a revolver, it is loaded.

I put 1...but only because "condition GLOCK" wasn't a choice

 

[hookedonjeep]

Glock 19..... condition zero - more or less...... 'nuff said!

 

[Titanium_Frost]

With hammer fired guns, do you think that the sight of a hammer pulled back as any effect on others reactions?

I get a few comments by old guys at the range worried I'm gonna blow my leg of cause its cocked. I really don't know why unless they aren't thinking I am carrying it and just shooting it at the range and therefore not on safe?

Not really a big deal, but to answer the original question, Kimber 1911 and a Taurus PT92 both Condition 1. That is the main reason I went with the Taurus and not a Beretta was because of the Cocked and Locked safety.

sometimes i like to carry an unloaded gun in my front pocket loose bullets in my shirt pocket and the magazine in my sock,but most of the time i carry a striker fired handgun fully loaded round in chamber with no safety

Hmm.. probably should have put in a seperate answer for "Glock and similar"
