Do you normally use that +1?

[silversurfer]

NO I just throw an extra mag in the pocket.

 

[Cinaet]

Always +1. I'd probably forget how to rack a slide if I was under pressure.

 

[Mr.357Sig]

Always +1. IMO, carrying a handgun with an empty chamber is just inviting disaster to come upon you. The fewer things you have to perform in an adrenaline-infused SD situation (ie, racking the slide to chamber a round), the better the outcome for you.

YMMV.

 

[338Shooter]

15+1 and 30+1 always.

 

[nofearfactor]

If +1 means my pistol is always in locked and loaded mode or condition one then yes; if it means do I rack the slide, remove the mag, and add another round then no.

 

[crappie josh]

on my carry gun yes i use the +1 but my home defense 12 gauge no cause i want them to hear me load it when they break in to my house pluse i have little ones and i dont leave loaded gun laying around, my 12gauge stays hidden and covered up in the closet and all of my other guns that stay locked up in the gun safe are unloaded

Helped you correct an error



Actually its a plus 6 thing

 

[rings]

Yes I +1 on my G23. Whenever I clear the round from the chamber I load that round lower down the mag so the same round isn't always the one getting chambered and unchambered, not sure if it matters but it does not take very long to do and makes me feel better.

I always have 12+1 in my pistol...^^This, I actually read something about how certain ammo was having issues with not firing after the chambered/unchambered in a LEO weapon. I now wish I could remember where I read that

 

[okrob]

+1 for me as well.
