The time difference between chambering an auto, and drawing one is neglible
Do you really know what you're talking about? The time it takes to chamber the round is enough time for something significant to happen. I would always have one chambered.(IMHO)

"Do you really know what you're talking about? The time it takes to chamber the round is enough time for something significant to happen. I would always have one chambered.(IMHO)"

Not really. Drawing from a shoulder holster, I can chamber a round in that Browning in the same time I can bring it into a position where I can fire it with any accuracy. It's a smooth, one-step action. It does require two hands, of course, but would not slow me down a bit.

Since I carry with no round in the chamber, I have practiced this hundreds of times. Now, if you're talking about dragging your gun out and snap-firing it without proper aiming, I suppose you're right. I would never do that. If I must fire, I'm going to aim well. I might only get one shot.

So, there's really no advantage, except in the situation where someone's holding my other arm. Try it.

I think he has amply demonstrated his answer. ;-)
