That is something to consider with any gun. Even if you carry with a round chambered, you could end up having to reload or rack the slide and only have one hand available.montgomery wrote:Jusme wrote:Not only do you lose an extra second or two to chamber a round in a stressful situation (which you may not have to spare) It requires you to have both hands available to do so.
If one hand is either disabled, or possibly engaged, in fighting off, an attacker with one hand, your gun is no more than a paperweight. JMHO
Agree with losing time to chamber round.
Agree with one hand being occupied in the fight but unavailable for handgun operation.
Disagree with paperweight statement. The purpose of the rear sight is to provide the gunfighter a means to rack the slide while holding the grip one handed.

Re: Green/Red chamber
I don't have reservations about carrying with a round chambered. Come up with a safe procedure for drawing and reholstering without anything getting in the way (shirt tail) that could depress the trigger.
