“I guess I’m saying that I can’t imagine many scenarios where I wouldn’t have time to rack the slide.”

I used to think that, then someone tried to carjack me. I got away without firing any shots and fortunately their gun jammed.

I would not have had time to chamber a round if their gun had not jammed. no way, no how

just my 2 cents

good $.02 dd...i figure the most likely scenario will be walkin across a large parkin lot...

w/o a doubt, it would be easy to get within arms length before i *knew* it was a BG...

1911 is designed to be cocked, and it wont fire w/o the trigger pulled even if UN-locked'...now theres $.04 on the table...
