My G23 is always loaded and ready to go. OWB or IWB.
ok ... this thread has shamed me into spending a bit of quality time with Glock 17 gen 3. it's quite apparent my reluctance to carry a Glock with a round is purely due to me not taking the time out to thoroughly familiarize myself.
trigger pull on Gock 17 takes 1lb 12oz to wall for first stage and travels 7mm. then second stage takes 5lb 8oz before round fires while traveling another 4.5mm.
have come to conclusion due to need of constantly protecting Glock's trigger from accidental snags. a proper holster is mandatory.
a Surefire X200 weapons light is always mounted on G17 ... so what's the best holster to get?
probably OWB? unless someone recommends otherwise ...
yes there is a round in chamber ... No I'm not going to carry it until I get a proper holster.
I'd like to know that. After carrying a revolver for 30 years the transition to the Glock was simple. The same can't be said about a 1911. Those things are dangerous. I'd sell it if someone gave me one. I know 2 Bethany cops back in the 70's that shot themselves in the butts with cocked and locked 1911's. You should not have to have a safety to flick on or off when it's time for a gun fight.
You make perfect sense, however, I do enjoy the 8lb trigger and am quite accurate with it. The biggest difference in the two triggers I have seen is there is now a definite breaking point in the travel. Before you couldnt feel when the gun was about to go off. Now I know, the trigger stops at a certain point, then boom. Having not shot many revolvers because Dad just didnt have any when I was growing up, does a revolver trigger feel the same way or is it just heavier?
I have a sig p228, and have not been carrying chamber loaded. Like most have said it has nothing to do with the firearm. I just feel like I need more practice with the firearm first. I have my ccw, but I'd like to get into an defensive handgun course to feel more confident with my firearm. The more I get out to the range the better I feel about it, but I'd still like to get into a defensive handgun course.

I wish I could recommend the company that made my G-19/X300 holster. It's an IWB that's the 2nd most comfortable I've ever tried behind the Milt Sparks EX. Problem is, the proprietor is awful about lead times and delivery.
here's what mine looks like. The Raven is similar.
