Is it a Glock? Don’t carry one in a chamber.
Is it a 1911? Probably ok to have one chambered.
i normally conceal carry a GLOCK 26 with IWB at 4 o’clock and not only do i have a round in the chamber but i top off the magazine so i have 11 rounds before reloading.
i am allowed to conceal carry draw at my indoor range and i am VERY slow and deliberate when reholstering.
I carry a Glock and always have 1 in the chamber just don’t touch the trigger until it is go time
Most police departments use Glocks and they all carry their Glock with one in the pipe. I have a Glock 23 and I always carry with one in the chamber. I always carry with one in the chamber, regardless of which pistol I'm carrying. Otherwise, I'm just carrying a couple of pounds of deadweight metal. When it comes to semi autos, it's more about the holster than it is about the weapon.
I do. Cocked and locked a 1911 is one of the safest loaded hand guns out there.
