Love it! The author, IMO, did a great job arguing his point. I never understood NOT carrying with one in the chamber...if you've gone through all the motions to have a concealed carry permit and then choose to essentially disable your firearm for use at a moments notice, well it's all wasted to me, and so could your life!

Great article...John Farnam is probably one of the most respected men in the firearms community and as an instructor, is known throughout the weapons community...Here's a good article on John Farnam: World BlackBelt Online I hope one day in the near future to be able to train under him.
Sometimes in life you have to stand your ground. It's a hard lesson to learn and even most adults don't get it, but in the end only I can be responsible for my life. If faced with any type of adversity, only I can overcome it. Waiting for someone else to take responsibility is a long fruitless wait.

...get serious....LMAO
we have been there; a question arising from a mindset that just did not exist prior
to the rise of the entitlement generation...the ones who went to school being told they
were all special and all of them were student of the month. despite simple math making that
impossible; except that the idea holds hands with the new math--which failed also.
as i've noticed about others--that they do not always do as i think they will nor often as they say they will.
this not only makes life interesting, it makes it dangerous too.

locked and cocked or in the chamber...
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
And die to find out there isn't, than live my life
As if there isn't, and die to find out there is.
God Bless

Good article but I do disagree with the above statement, due to arthritis in both hands a 3 ½ to 5 lb trigger is far more accurate for me and just as safe.On most pistols currently manufactured, five to seven pounds of trigger resistance is considered about right for most users, under most serious circumstances. Heaver triggers make it difficult to shoot the pistol quickly, with sufficient accuracy.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.

This is on the Owners manual of my P238 that i just bought
http://www.sigsauer.com/upFiles/CmsC...01.2%20web.pdfWARNING – DROPPED PISTOL
If dropped, the pistol may fire.
Keep the chamber empty unless
actually firing!
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
Pg 23
This one is on my Kimber's Manual
http://www.kimberamerica.com/uploads...ad/Compact.pdfSafe Carrying Condition: Never carry this
pistol cocked, loaded and ready to fire as this
practice could easily result in an unintentional
discharge. Do not carry a loaded gun with a
live round in the chamber while walking, running
or crossing any obstacle, where there is any
possibility of slipping or falling as this could
lead to a possible unintentional discharge.
Pgs 8 and 9

I advise you to sell it immediately and buy a Glock. Sheesh. Even the manufacturer, SIG/Sauer, does not trust their own design. You certainly shouldn't trust their design.Originally Posted by 1911_Kimber

I'm guessing the warnings in the Sig and Kimber manuals are simply a CYA tactic.

It's your gun, your life and your prorogative. Firearms don't unintentionally discarge. I don't care what manual says so. God forbid you are put in a precarious situation unchambered..you lose and they're not changing pgs 8 or 9 for the rest of us.
Why?? Because at the last second, the Police are minutes away.
