In a life or death situation, will you have enough time to chamber a round?
“In a life or death situation, will you have enough time to chamber a round?”
Yes, thanks to a couple of other posts, I’m willing to give a responsible cop a pass on chambering a round.
Unfortunately, though, this cop wouldn’t qualify.
Very often, yes.
The question is "is it better to just bust in and start shooting, or take the time to move deliberately?" the answer is obviously the latter.
The only two real-life situations where round-chambered makes sense is military patrols (e.g. ambush/attack response) and certain forms of hunting (e.g. flushing birds).
