Daily reminder that trying to quickdraw your way out of an ambush is suicide.

If your opponent has the drop on you, he has the drop. The whole idea of defensive carry is that you have your eyes open and react to danger before it occurs, not after.

No to everything you said. I didn't watch your gay movie either, I don't work for you bitch.

>>33621464

He doesn't, the carrier waits until he has the opportunity and the robber is distracted but is critically delayed by the amount of time necessary to chamber a round. It's a small amount of time to be sure but it's enough that the carrier dies.

Carrying empty chamber is retarded.

Best self defense gun for paranoid assholes is a double action, chambered, safety off, decocked. Zero chance of accidental discharge, all you need to do is full the trigger. I honestly don't even understand how their is a market for shit like Glocks when this weapon system exists..

>guy messes up the chambering action, slingshots it away from target
>example of why condition 3 is bad

Come on, man.
I could post videos of people shooting themselves as they draw, and conclude that carrying Condition 0 or 1 is wrong. Show people using proper technique, and then compare the two carry styles.

Here’s a webm I made a few months back to test the different in draw times.
Time began on the frame the cameraman said “go”. Time ended on the frame the firing pin clicked.

Racking the slide added a third of a second.
I’m willing to sacrifice this time during the (maybe) single time I draw in self-defense in exchange for:

>NEVER EVER having an ND for all the years I’ll carry
>no one can steal my gun and use it on me without racking it first (something they probably wouldn’t think to do)
>complete safety of transferring the gun between my glove compartment, holster, and bedside table as I go about my day

If you don’t think this is a fair trade, then fine. But this is a value judgment; a choice of prudence, nor morals or mathematics. Don’t demonize people with different priorities.

If you dont believe in yourself or what you carry, then stop carrying.
>>
>>33621748

I do the same with my pocket carry. But I'd be hesitant about carrying without a round in the chamber for a "real" carry gun- I have a small dog and a big pit or something could charge her, first I'd pick her up and kick the pit (most likely if I have time), and then I'd want to pull my gun and fire it if it jumps and attacks her/me.

You might end up in a similar situation.

It's a good video, but tons of the examples are people messing up (like short stroking) or putting themselves in bad situations to start with (carrying babies)

If you include mistakes and poor preparation, then all the examples of people shooting themselves while drawing because of poor trigger-discipline are fair-game too. I could make a compilation video of people putting rounds in their own thighs and say that C1 or C0 are wrong.

>if you don't do it the way I think best, don't do it at all. disarm yourself because I disagree with you.

You are the cancer of firearms communities, you know that? This the epitome of "it doesn't harm you, so why forbid it", since I can never ND.
Prig.

>>33621873
Indeed, that's a legitimate concern, and you should do whichever you deem best.
I'm not opposed to anyone carrying with one in the chamber. It's just that there are people like >>33621867 who would rather tell fellow CC-ers to disarm completely than admit that there are ups and downs to both methods.

>>33622010

I had it happen today actually, was walking my dog around the park and a big pit charged her. She used to scream at them no matter what, but now she just sits and shakes a bit if they are not showing aggression. She just shook. Anyways, I wasn't risking it, and got ready to boot the fucker. It turned out to be very friendly.

But what if it was a dog who only showed a little aggression before attacking, or a second dog came up? I wouldn't have been able to use both hands at all times during the engagement, which could have resulted in harm to my dog or myself.

It is better to have a gun than nothing, but we all have to mature and become better CCers, and carrying chambered is part of that. I disagree with C0 on the principle that real life is complex and fluid, and C0 can get your ass handed to you when you should have won the engagement.

Getting killed by someone gets you killed.

Carrying a gun is in itself already a major step towards defending yourself, but can also backfire hugely. Among others because of accidents.

Carrying with an empty chamber is a good compromise between defensive capability and safety.

What about transferring gun without pulling it out of the holster?
>>
>>33621776
>>33622184

Exactly why I said DOUBLE ACTION and I implied Glocks are fucking terrible. In a DA/SA you have a very heavy trigger pull that makes accidental discharge near impossible but you have no problem squeezing it in a life or death situation.
>>
>>33622201
>Carrying with an empty chamber is a good compromise between defensive capability and safety.
Yeah maybe in the 1800s when the safest way to carry a SAA was to have one cylinder empty.
Always carry chambered folks! If you are scared of glock triggers, get a gun with a manual safety or a revolver.
>>
>>33621748
The real problem is what if it jams when you rack it or a piece of clothing get in and snags it up.
>>
This might shock a lot of you, but people make choices all the fucking time whereby they potentially endanger their lives for trivial things like money, adrenaline, convenience, ...

If you ask me, life or death situations where you absolutely NEED one in the chamber are extremely rare.
But you carry and handle your gun all the time.
Thus, the risk of accidental discharge is much greater than the risk of getting killed because you couldn't rack the slide.
>>
>>33622409
That is what a manual safety is for. I carry my Beretta 92 with the safety on. When I take my gun out of it's holster or put it into the holster, it will not go off. The safety on the Beretta is in a position that makes it so you have to want to take it off to take it off. (Unlike 1911s)
The risk of accidental discharge is almost none.

Have you ever tried to unlock a smartphone period? Half the time it doesn't work when functioning normally. Not a very good comparison.
I do generally agree with your point though, but the thing is, you may be more able to do the action, but you are just as likely to short stroke it. On top of that you need two hands to rack the slide vs one hand to disengage a safety. The pros and cons favor the safety, but you do you. It doesn't really effect me unless I try to mug you or something.

This is factually, obejctively wrong. Way to start a video.

While there are plenty of situations where the additional time needed to chamber a round might get you killed, there is even more situations where you will have enough time to chamber a round. Not every self-defense scenario involves someone already pointing a firearm at you.

In fact, if someone is already pointing a gun at you, compliance is by far the best strategy since there is no way in fucking hell your draw is faster that the guy's trigger finger and attempting a disarm is extremaly risky even if you practice is for hours each and every day.

This video is fucking stupid and the guy is a fatfuck.

3 types of retardation posses by condition 3 carriers.

1- Comfort level. crawl - walk - run. Until people are comfortable and trust themselves, it will stay C3. To me, this is the only valid reason since it tells me that they're at least concerned with safety. Can be corrected with training.

2- Mindset failure. - "I have a gun, so I'm good". Typically disconnected and naive in all aspects of life. Very difficult to change this mindset with words. Generally takes a very negative personal experience to open their eyes.

3- Dunning-Krueger - "I'll just rack it if I need it". Keep moving, there's nothing you can do, they already know everything.

which are negligible if you carry a gun with an actual safety. even with a glock safety, the only threats are NDs and ADs, both of which are your responsibility to prevent. and if you can't figure out how to not ND or have shit by the weapon that could pull the trigger, don't fucking carry.

>>33621414
This guy wasn't going to do well even with a chambered round, watch his body language. It's obvious he's up to something, he's not calm at all, and it looks like he drew when the robber was looking straight at him. The guy was clearly ready for him to try something and pulled the trigger immediately. Drawing a CC is something you do either A.) before you actually have a gun pointed at your vital zone or B.) when you can make gross body movements out of view of the armed perpetrator. Situational awareness is and always will the most important factor of surviving a situation like this.

If you're so worried about that split second of draw time you lose when racking, why aren't you an advocate of wearing soft armor around under your clothes everywhere you go?
>>
>>33623338
I definitely see pros and cons on both sides.

Shootings are extremely rare, while carrying takes place day in day out. Personally I'd carry with an empty chamber most of the time, knowing full well that it may cost me my life under certain circumstances.

This is the price I'm willing to pay to prevent accidental discharges that may injure or kill me or - even worse - a loved one.

If you get attacked and fail to kill or disable your attacker, very little to no blame will fall upon you.

I think it's fine to carry one in the chamber, but this guy probably would have gotten hosed anyway even if he had; unless he had Jerry Miculek-tier drawing ability, the window of opportunity in this instance was just too short to have worked effectively.

Out of curiosity, where the hell are you all living that you think you need an instakill device at the ready every second?

Unless your office is at the corner of crack avenue and pop a cap in your ass lane, I really don't get it.

I mean, bill of rights, not needs, ya. But taking a small risk every day of a ND when the odds of using the item that causes the risk is essentially zero...its just a misapplication of statistics.

Remember, it's not just a fraction of a second you're giving up, though that's vital time you don't have to waste.

You're also giving up any hope of defending yourself if you're attacked during your draw, as well as giving up your ability to draw and fire once taken to the ground.
>>
>>33629346
You would seriously try to quick-draw on a mugger who is within striking distance?
>>
>>33629330
This isn't the place for logic, statistics, and good sense. This is /k/ where the paranoid mix with LARPers.

The odds of being in a situation where it will be a 'good shoot' and having so little time that the difference between one in the chamber seem mighty long. But there are also people here who insist that you learn to draw while in the middle of taking a dump, because 'never let your guard down'.

I suppose technically that's correct. It sure seems like a shitty way to live.

no shit sherlock, i only thought about that like 5 times already on this thread.

There are better ways to mitigate ND/AD risk than by carrying an unloaded weapon. Like DA/SA, active safeties (grip, trigger, button/switch), etc. Only have a Block? OK, carry condition 3.

In fact, one could argue that there are even ways that carrying condition 3 increase risk. For example, over time you will be conditioned to believe that your firearm is less dangerous. Most accidental deaths come from someone thinking or assuming a firearm is unloaded.
>>
>>33629904

The friend part has nothing to do with it, the guy was simply carrying a hot weapon, which you do with your carry gun too whenever you take it out of the holster for storage, cleaning, confrontation, ...

How does having to rack it make you less likely to fumble it like a butter fingered autist?

Revolver! And I would have just shot through the apron. Pulling that shit out from behind screwed him. As soon as he turned his back he should have drawn, chambered a round an upon turning fired. Without ever pulling it from behind the apron.

>Kept gun loaded while not in his control
The gun was in his hands.

>Let it point at him while moving it
It's always pointed at something. Maybe the muzzle caught on something.

Some guns don't have them. And safeties can hamper your combat effectiveness too.

The point is something freakish happened to pull that trigger, in this case a boot zipper or a branch.

In what scenario are you going to be putting your finger on the trigger if you're not on target, ready to fire? Because any reputable carry gun isn't going to fire unless you pull that trigger.

Do you not carry in a holster that covers your trigger? You shouldn't be drawing your gun and re-holstering all the time throughout the day. If you have to draw your gun, you should be using it until the threat is no longer a threat, and then you can take your time to safely re-holster. Saying you're too incompetent to safely holster your own gun is just another argument for you to maybe not be around guns.

>How about the scenarios where a branch, boot zipper, or part of a jacket pull the trigger?

As part of your training for the 5 step draw, where is your offhand, and where are you looking?

Your off hand should be pulling your shirt and jacket up and away from your holster. Your eyes should be verifying that no branches or other foreign objects are inside your holster.

This happens every single time you re-holster.

You lose nothing by taking the time to educate yourself and if you ever do have to use your CCW, then being able to say you took the time to take courses in safe use can be beneficial in court too.

The principle is the exact same.

In what world do you live where your holster is getting damaged to the point where your trigger is exposed? And you should be adjusting your level of retention based on your activity. If you're just walking downtown to grab a gallon of milk, great, slip your little 9 into a comfy light holster. If you're hiking through the woods, maybe consider something with better retention.

If your gun fires because your gear is damaged, that's negligence. If your gun fired because you didn't check to make sure your holster was clear, that's negligence. If your gun fired because you had your finger on the trigger before your were ready to fire, THAT'S negligence.

The world where car accidents happen, for instance.

>>33631417
>The principle is the exact same.

Rifles hang and drag around your body potentially getting snagged on a bunch of shit. Your pistol stays in a holster which completely protects the trigger when not in use.

Also this >>33631441

The only time a handgun's trigger is really exposed is when you have it drawn and are either planning on putting it away or using it. In one case you are in a safe, calm environment and in the other you want a round in the chamber.

If your gear is damaged, buy new gear.
>>
>>33631417
>Yes, but humans are fallible.

Yes, but that's why we make it second nature. To reduce it as much as humanly possible. Probably to the point where I'm less likely to screw up there than I am remembering not to chamber a round after popping a mag in.

> Also, accidents don't just happen when you're holstering/un-holstering.

I don't think any of the things you are worried about with condition 0 happen outside of the gun:
1. going into
2. coming out of
3. or resting inside of a holster

Risk on 1 and 2 can be reduced to acceptable risk levels with training. 3 is close enough to an impossibility with a ridig holster.

Out of curiosity, how long have you been carrying condition 3, and in that time, have had anything pull your trigger accidentally?
>>
>>33631477
>fully protected
Lol no.

>>33631456
Rifles are carried hand. In some ways that's even more secure than in a holster since it's within eyesight.
And pistols in the military are also unchambered. And they're common.

>>33631501
>I think drawing and re-holstering your gun is going to be your last concern after getting fucking T-Boned.
Car accidents happen, and shit like that could damage your holster and cause a discharge. Making a bad situation much worse potentially.

>If your gear is damaged, buy new gear.
But before you notice your gear being damaged, it's still damaged.

I'm not saying don't carry condition 1 or 0.

If you feel otherwise, go ahead and carry otherwise.

Stop caring so much about other people's opinions and preferences.

I'm actually more worried that you might get a little lax about Rule 1 since you always carry condition 3.

Like that morning, you get dressed, pop in a mag, and rack the slide (just like you would do at the range) and don't realize it because you haven't had coffee yet.

Johnny round-in-the-chamber might run a higher risk of glock leg, but he's probably more likely to treat his weapon as always loaded, since it is.

2 is for DA/SA pistols only. It’s
>round in chamber
>safety off
>hammer forward

So it’s literally a draw-and-fire motion, but the first trigger pull is going to be much harder than the rest. Not a bad way to carry, honestly. But I didn’t think to test it, since the point was to see how much time toggling the safety and racking the slide each took.

It's been demonstrated over and over in this thread that you will not have guaranteed use of your support hand in a situation where you draw your gun. Instead of confronting this reality relating to you and thinking you will have the chance to rack the slide, you are now complaining about a 1 handed garment clearing being too challenging and unreliable.

Truly frightening the amount of cognitive dissonance you are displaying. I'm at a loss of words how insanely out of touch you are with the reality of a defensive gun use.

Seriously though, if you're in a situation where the difference between 1/2/whatever means getting shot, you might want to reconsider drawing.

This. Not saying you should carry with an empty chamber (I'd certainly still advise against it), but the fact of the matter is that when it comes to self-defense, no-win situations DO happen, and /k/ommandos tend to get too caught up in their LARPing gunslinger fantasies to recognize such situations.

It could work, and often it DOES work because muggers and robbers tend to be rather stupid, but it's still a major gamble. If it DOESN'T work and the thug catches on, it COULD clue him into the fact that you're carrying, which will most likely end either in him relieving you of your own weapon as well as your wallet, or in an exchange of gunfire (again, in a situation where he already has the drop).
>>
>>33633723
this was my first post
>>33633292
i was just responding to the guy who said you need a second arm out to defend yourself while your primary arm grabs your gun. i was just saying for me and probably other people, we need two hands to grab the gun out in most realistic circumstances anyway. even if only for a brief moment to clear the clothing. but i firmly agree that less steps is better and carrying without one racked in the tube already puts you at a disadvantage. that might be the only shot you get off, why give that up?

yeah one handed draw is ideal and should be learned, i will practice mine more, but im definitely not able to draw as fast or RELIABLY with just one hand. sometimes i hit snags or mess up with the clothing and grip. when i use my offhand to clear clothing, i have a 100% reliable draw

the guys in some of these videos posted are wearing a little polo shirt thats hiked up already above their pocket line, is that really realistic? in real life after walking around your shirt will fall and settle to the lowest possible point, and some of us cant afford to wear a thin tight polo that prints easily due to our workplace environment
