Do you carry with one in the chamber?

Look...I'm new here. I don't wanna get into a peeing match to see who can be the bigger jerk. I'll concede to you. Have a nice night.

Why oh why must this become a pissing contest? It serves no one any good, it's counterproductive, and few of us want to see such quibbling.

Why oh why are you commenting on it when it's finished?
Mind your own business and move along.

I carry with my magazine in my front pocket (playboy of course), a clip in the other. Bullets in my back pockets (acts as a mini massage when I sit down to read).

I am minding my own "business" by reminding people who insist on being hard headed and even somewhat rude to other members that they either need to play well with others or get on down the road. We can keep it up if you like but no more Mr. Unofficial here.

Round chambered, decocked, no safety. First shot double action, or if time permits thumb cocked for single action first shot.

Trained in the 60's to carry a 1911, round in chamber, hammer down, safety off. Thumb cock for first shot.

It was believed that the pistol was a secondary weapon and there would be time to cock the weapon for action.

I never carry with a round in the chamber, but the pistol I carry does so I just kind of go with it.

You win, mods please lock...

Classic OSA thread.

I stand by my first post in the thread.

Makes me chuckle.

1911 Condition One always no exceptions. Learned my lesson carrying a Springfield XDM and was in an attempted car jacking. My off hand was real busy and pointing empty gun did not have desired effect and the cretin was not aware it was not loaded. Did not care. It was somewhat effective when driven into offenders eye socket forcefully several times. Guy plead out to time served and entering a drug program

OK. I'm with @Snattlerake; I must be missing something or reading your post incorrectly. Your XDM was not loaded? Why?
