Condition One. Cocked and Locked 1911.
Always one in the pipe. That's what it's made for...

My carry gun right now is a walther ppk/s. When I carried I had one in the chamber. Make sure the trigger guard is covered by your holster. You could leave the safety on if you're worried, but make sure you practice hitting it when you draw. Unfortunately, it's the opposite direction of the 1911 so if you have the urge to get one of those in the future, consider that your training will be a problem and leaving the safety off (double action first trigger pull) might be best at this time.

When I first started OC'ing: empty chamber. Lasted about half a week. Then one in the chamber, safety on. Lasted about another week. Thenone in the pipe, safety off, hammer down, DA first pull and been that way for over 2 years now!

I carry a Colt M1991A1...one in the chamber...full magazine...cocked and locked w/safety on. With the 1911, when one is on the chamber, the hammer is fully back and in condition one, single action, but it has the holster strap around the hammer and has apalm safety. So unless you have it gripped in your hand, it can't fire. Greatcarry gun.

I always carry with one in the pipe too. However, does anyone on this board have the cajones to carry a glock in a smartcarry with one in the pipe? Do you still have any cajones? I can honestly say that the only time I have carried with an empty chamber is when I carried my Glock 22 in a Smart Carry. I just couldn't imagine having a loaded gun with no manual safety devices that close to my baby making parts.

I like using analogous references to other animals when it comes to human action and natural rights. A natural right being self preservation, which all animals possess. Anyway... Snakes keep their venom sacks loaded, cats have their claws/teeth at the ready, and squid have a black liquid they squirt out when threatened, loaded and ready for use immediatly. All of the animals in nature have their self preservation tools at the ready for full and immediate use. If you are carrying for self preservation then you should have your tool in the same condition, simply because when you will need it most it will need to be fully ready. Any amount longer it takes you to respond with your tool, your chances of survival are less.

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.

Only time Iwon't have one in the chamber is when it is sitting at home. As a home defense gun I am relying on the lay out of the house and distance someone would need to travel through doors as enough time topick the gun up off the dresser andrack the slide.

Me too on my CZ p-01except that would make it condition 2. Condidtion one is cocked and locked. Condition 2 is decocked condition 3 is no rounds in the chamber. (Just nit-picking).
As others have noted, no difference between a revolver and a decocker in terms of safety.
And yeah- the banana rox your face!!!!! :celebrate

I carry condition 1 on my Ruger P95, decocked and manual safety on. The reason I never carry Condition 2 is because I never carry my gun with the safety off. If I were to carry con 2, safety on, when I chambered the first round, the decocker would automatically lower the hammer, putting my weapon in the exact state of readiness that it would be in carrying condition 1, so all I really did was waste my time. :?
I, like many others, dont feel like staking my life, or anothers, on precious few seconds it takes to rack and fire that first round from condition 2.

EDIT: Im packing 15+1 in my P95, for the record

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.

Condition 3, but only because I work with animals a lot. I've been practicing drawing + racking the slide during the draw and I can have the slide racked in the same amount of time it takes to draw.
