Re: Carrying a Colt Defender ??
Lots of good informative comments here,I don't know what handgun the store clerk was carrying but there was a thread on it where he saw 2 bad guys coming in and drew his weapon,the bad guys shot and killed him and they found the store clerks gun with the safety still engaged.Whatever weapon you carry for self dfense make sure you are proficient with it,I carry 1911's in condition 1 due to what it requires to drop a hammr in that position but also the fact that in a high stress situation the least amount of things you need to accomplish to make your weapon at the ready is beneficial to you,I've dropped a hammer on an empty chamber at the range before,the magazine wasn't fully seated when i racked the slide.I have a sigpro 40cal i have a decocker on so first shot is DA and second etc. SA .I practice at the range hammer down first shot ,that's what will happen in real life.In the military we carried 1911's condition 3 no round in chamber,hey didn't want ppl having AD'S if you got shot trying to chamber a round oh well.Oh yeah welcome to the TWILIGHT ZONE
