Not with a Glock
could always carry condition 4 too
Totally, one bullet, kept in the shirt pocket ought a do it...
heck the neighborhood I grew up in, that would be fine.. the guys were so mean and tough, they inserted the bullets into your body manually...Totally, one bullet, kept in the shirt pocket ought a do it...

Just carry a .50 cal round with you and Stab em with it!

I used to have one of these. I sold it and switched to my H&K .45.
The Springfield was a great gun, but I did not like the ports. That muzzle blast is a bit much for close quarters.
Glock.

Did this thread start in Mayberry while Andy was out of town?
Andy Taylor: What are you doing?
Barney Fife: Gun-drawing practice, ten minutes every day. If I ever have to use this baby, I want to teach it to come to papa in a hurry.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Barney Fife: Well, I guess to sum it up, you could say, there's three reasons why there's so little crime in Mayberry. There's Andy, and there's me, and
[patting gun]
Barney Fife: baby makes three.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy Taylor: When a man carries a gun all the time, the respect he thinks he's getting might really be fear. So I don't carry a gun because I don't want the people of Mayberry to fear a gun. I'd rather they respect me.

I don't keep one in the pipe unless it's on me physically.
P
get you some Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +P for that beast. I've seen and done tests on that ammo and it is top notch stuff. It's the only round I carry in my G17. Also it's what NYPD issues to their guys and they have had great luck with it.
Looks easily concealed, even in the shower
looks real similar to that thing from the movie "men in black" that was referred to as a noisy cricket
I've got one too (in fact, the 3-gun set); nice gun, but favorite carry gun is a Glock.
I have a 7-year old daughter; she's not strong enough yet to charge, but there is no way in the house I'm going to have a round chambered. When she is potentially old enough to be able to charge a round, I'm going to have to re-think gun strategy in the house (besides teaching her the three-point stance and trigger pull).
I am confident (and practiced) that I can charge just about as fast as I can display, so I don't normally carry chambered unless I think the situation warrants, and it's in my direct possession. Too dangerous to just leave laying around. It's a trade-off.
I've got a Springfield 1911 V-12 ported model with ported and non-ported barrels. I don't care for the trigger and haven't spend the $$$ to have it worked so it spends most of the time in the safe.
I have a Sig P239/40 for carry. It's a DA/SA so one in the chamber with the gun decocked.

The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense. (waiting for attack)
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.
5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46
6. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my shotgun.'
7. Beware the man who only has one gun. HE PROBABLY KNOWS HOW TO USE IT!!!
But wait, there's more!
I was once asked by a lady visiting if I had a gun in the house. I said I did. She said 'Well I certainly hope it isn't loaded!' To which I said, of course it is loaded, can't work without bullets!' She then asked, 'Are you that afraid of someone evil coming into your house?' My reply was, 'No not at all. I am not afraid of the house catching fire either, but I have fire extinguishers around, and they are all loaded too.' To which I'll add, having a gun in the house that isn't loaded is like having a car in the garage without gas in the tank.

I just purchase a Walther PPS and carry YES loaded in a Blackhawk Serpa Holster. Very nice safe carry holster, I have another carry Holster better concealed in pants, I'll send the link later it's at home and cant's pull it up at work.

If you find yourself without time to go from Condition 3 to 1? Then you need to work more on your situational awareness. Not that hard to see potential.
I'm not saying there is a RIGHT or WRONG way to do it. Israeli military carry in condition 3, many times our own military is taught the same. Not an all bad way to carry, prevents a lot of accidents, and can slow the gun being used against you cause many criminals are also criminally stupid. It all comes down you how you train, if you train...
I'm all for CCW, but I've met so many "mall Ninja's" and "Range Commandos" talking tough about their "Carry Strategy" while displaying their tricked out 1911 Yadda Yadda only to then watch them Yanking the trigger, have no stance, no practice, no skills whatsoever... It's like watching a first time rider on a Busa... Just embarrassing and sad.
So, TRAIN as you plan to FIGHT, I'd say that's most important regardless.
The chances you'll ever need your CCW are extremely slim, the chance you'll NOT recognize the threat ahead of time is even more remote still... However the chance you'll panic, jerk your weapon out of it's holster and shoot yourself in the leg while carrying in Con1... Pretty darn good given the amount of time folks actually spend training, practicing, and drilling with their weapon.
QUICK IT'S an EMERGENCY, You draw your weapon, jamming your finger into the trigger guard, yanking wildly you then mash the SLIDE RELEASE fishing for the safety, crap your pants and pass out from the exertion... Bad guy steals your gun and wallet... Giggles at your twitching prostrate form and moves on...
I only carry with one in the chamber. I'm big on the idea if you don't train with a gun and aren't properly trained with that gun, you shouldn't be carrying it.
As far as what I carry and how, depends on where I'm going and what I'm doing. 95% of the time it's a Glock though
Two well thought out answers. I agree training is everything.
Let me ask this: What do you think is the right amount of training? By training I mean classroom and range time, to include practice on the range.
