Had a good laugh today

[General Zod]

When people ask me if I'm planning to go somewhere dangerous because I carry, I tell them if I knew it was dangerous I wouldn't go there.

Exactly. And assuming crime only happens in "high crime" places is idiotic. The smart criminals are gonna go where the money is, not where everyone's struggling.

I can deploy and fire my Glock with one hand.

As can pretty much everyone with a loaded chamber.

But good luck racking the slide while wrestling with an assailant.

Why would I need to rack the slide?

Because the director of the movie will have you rack the slide 36 times before you ever actually use the gun in a scene? Well, not Alec Baldwin, of course. Revolver or semiauto, he'll shoot instantaneously...kinda like spontaneous human combustion.

But seriously, I think it was because the OP was all about an RO saying it was too dangerous to carry with one in the chamber. Hence the part about ECQ physical grappling with no package onboard and ready to launch.

1911 user here. When carrying, it's always in condition 1. If necessary, I need only need one hand to fire it, as well as the other 7 in the magazine.

When you need a gun, you need it NOW. I've seen too many folks fail to rack the slide properly. Even then, there is a chance, however small, that the mag has disengaged itself or you get a stovepipe.

R

Went to the pistol range this morning. As I was leaving there was a guy (know it all) packing up and talking to the RO saying it was dangerous to carry with a round chambered and he never would. I just had to stop and engage in the conversation (I am an ass) with the RO on one side and me on his left looking down range I ask him to holster his unloaded gun and draw pointing down range. As he drew his weapon, I grabbed his left arm and said chamber a round now.

He said that would never happen because he would never let any bad guys get that close to him.

Retards carry guns. Whoodathunkit?

There's another group who applaud magazine-less guns that can't fire the last round.

It's for 'safety' doncha know...

IDK if you’re playing dumb to be annoying, or you really didn’t bother to read the original post.

Either way, I’m done replying to a brick wall.

Point is, I wouldn't need to rack the slide because I wouldn't carry without a round in the chamber.

Us old school wheel gunners have to walk about loaded otherwise we'd better be real good at throwing stuff...

I always have a knife on me but definitely want a derringer-style backup ie. Bond Arms
