Reasons to carry your pistol with one in the chamber

Have there been any DA revolvers made in the last 50 years or more where it is unsafe to keep the gun fully loaded? I would never own any sort of DA revolver ever that did not allow me to keep the hammer over a loaded chamber.

Small pocket sized revolvers are already at a disadvantage with how many rounds they can carry compared to similarly sized autos. I for one am not going to leave any holes in my cylinder empty!

I agree with you completely Rusty. To answer your question as simply as possible......no, i don't believe so. My suggestion was merely to provide an option for those who are not comfortable carrying on a loaded chamber.

quite possibly some of the worst advice i've heard about self defense, next to leaving your gun in your vehicle when you go into a building thats not a gun free zone.....

I couldn't agree more! The suggestion was only for those who want to carry but are not comfortable carrying with a loaded chamber.
 
You guys are crazy, it's so dangerous, negligent, and irresponsible!! I wear a life jacket over my bullet proof vest, a gas mask under my football helmet, AND wear my seatbelt to drive 3 blocks for groceries...

No wait...

Seriously - I want as few manual/deliberate manipulations as possible between "oh schitt" and "bang"... Striker fired, no safety, or DA/SA/DAO. Thumb break holster is as far as I go for "extra steps." One in the chamber, ready when I need it.
 
i saw this design from some mentally disabled engineer trying to leech off the concealed carry market stupidity recently

so not only do you carry it without a loaded mag in it, its got almost no grip for drawing from concealment in the first place. then you get to insert the mag, rack the slide and THEN shoot at the bad guy.

this is an offical triple facepalm idea

the worst part is, there's probably at least 500 idiots out there who think this is an amazing idea and cant wait to buy one




whats next, a pocket reloading tool marketed for making self defense ammo on the fly, instead of carrying an extra mag? i can see it now, a pouch with a lee loader, some powder, a dozen peices of empty brass, primers and a handfull of bullets. "for the same space as two magazines you can carry enough components to make dozens of rounds of ammo when you need it most!"
