BOOO!!!
I train, compete and carry cocked and locked. It is the best method FOR ME.
do u shoot sideways too?
I carry a M&P9c day in day out. Loaded to the max. Full mag w/ one in pipe. I carry in a Fobus paddle. No problems. As mentioned.....training. If nothing else get a "snap cap" and put in the chamber and use as a tool to see that you will not have a ND.
Who carries with an empty chamber?
Those that have not taken the time to understand their weapon and those that are willing to rely on the goodwill of thugs.
Be careful here. Double stack high-cap mags like our M&Ps can cause malfunctions when fully loaded with one in the pipe. You're chancing a nasty type three. I've seen guys load up their mags to capacity during training and then wonder why they were jamming. This is especially true with new mags and AR-15s (The AR-15 I've done myself)
Gen4 glock 17 here. Scared with mine when my daughter hugs my leg and her head is 3" from the barrel. So I say no. I'll take the chances of being shot before I watch my daughter go in front of me because of nd
Try starting with having your handgun lying around the house with one in the chamber. Then start carrying it the same. Thats how I got over the deal. My carry sits by my bed at night so its always ready to go.
Well I assume this is only for those who live alone or keep their loaded guns in a place where little kids can't get to.

If you can rack the slide while using your off hand to protect your head or fight off an attacker, I commend you.

Sorry for the newb question but what's a "type 3"?
Glad I bought a Beretta.
Double feed.
And I have never found this to be an issue from loading to "full capacity" in ANY pisol I've ever owned, carried or fired. This is right up there with the old wives tale of downloading mags by one or two rounds to "save the springs". Quality modern pistols are designed to, and will function 100% when loaded to capacity.
