I get this question all the time in class.
Some folks simply feel that without one the chamber, their level of safety increases. As we all know, that mode of carry actually puts them at greater risk.
Also, a lot of folks with a military background were trained to carry their weapon unchambered. Old habits are hard to break.
I don't recall what you carry, but in my case (S&W686+ w/hammer retention or Glock 19 in Check Six or Serpa) there is very little chance of AD. I have tried (empty, of course) to fire my 686 in the holster with the hammer retention closed and it won't budge. I mean, you'd have to be a total BEAST to get it to fire while holstered... and that still doesn't really qualify as AD.Mine are ready for use the moment they leave the holster. I'd rather deal with the legal issues of AD/ND than of dealing with a BG intent upon harm.
As Sheriff would say, "Bingo! We have a winner!"fire_man234 - It seems that in this and other threads, you have raised a number of questions that would probably be covered by taking some kind of handgun training course.
Or to unload it.And the only reason it should ever be out is if you intend to fire it.

As for the Glock, unless removed from the holster, it CANNOT go off. Glock has been VERY SPECIFIC about their trigger group and three-stage safety design. Unless you trigger the gun correctly, it won't go off.
It certainly isn't going off in the holster.

Only for routine cleaning and oiling, of course.
Of course. Obviously for that!:lol:Only for routine cleaning and oiling, of course.
They forgot to mention about taking it out and caressing it :^). But you only do that when no one else is around, from what I hear.... :^).virginiatuck wrote:Of course. Obviously for that!:lol:Only for routine cleaning and oiling, of course.
I gotta say, I like this forum a little more every day.
