I'm sure it's da Rottweilers... Rottweilers are the original gangstas they'll jack your gat and bust a cap in yo' pie-hole. Everyone knows them dogs is just mean, but without opposable thumbs they can't rack a round into the chamber. :uhoh:

It's because if I get kicked by a 2 year old, 800lb animal full of piss and vinegar, I'll have more time to think about turning them into dog food.

keeping one in the pipe allows me 13+1 in my G27 - pray that I never need that many, but nice to know they are there...

yes

Only Hollywood and gangsters do not carry a chambered round. To Hollywood it adds to the action of the movie :what:, and to gangsters, it makes them look hard:X.
To law abiding citizens it could cost them their life. :(

I didn't for the first week, but now if it's not locked up (because I'm carrying something else), it's on my hip. If it's on my hip, there are 15 + 1 rounds in it. G22, I love that thing.

Carry w/one in the chamber whether it's a GLOCK, Sig, H&K, Kimber 1911, or Kahr.

Remember, it's called a "handgun," NOT a "handsgun."

Unless you're having a quickdraw duel @ high noon, you willNEED your other hand for something else.

The point is that in a life and death situation, you might have to use that other arm for something else, such as fending off an attacker. If you don't have one in the chamber, and your left arm is too busy fighting off a guy with a knife... That gun isn't going to do youany good.

Your index finger is your safety. Keep it off the trigger until your sights are on the target and you've made the decission to fire. End of discussion :banghead:

This is the truth. If you don't have the control required to carry a weapon with a round chambered you may want to look at more training to become more comfortable or reconsider how or if you will continue to carry.

I concealed carry a Glock 27 .40 with the Pierce Grip Extenders so it's 9+1 with an extra mag of 9. I open carry a SiG P229 with 12+1 and an extra mag of 12+1.
Because you never know.....:p

I always carry with a rounds in the chamber, be it my Glock 19 or my 1911. The fact of the matter is that you may, or may not have the time and opportunity to rack teh slide should you need the weapon. With a quality weapon and a quality holste, carrying with a round chamber poses no danger to anyone but a bad guy.
