I've read some of the older posts about carrying with a round in the chamber. I can completely understand the logic and reasoning behind this philosophy. However, I cannot bring myself to do this. I can't get over the fact that one acidental discharge would be one too many. BTW, I have a glock 27, no safety other than on the trigger. I might feel differently about it with a different gun, but for now, this is what I brought to the track. Suggestions, opinions on ways to overcome this concern. I will admit that in the time that I've been using the gun for recreational purposes and carrying around the house, I've never had the gun accidentally "dry fire".
Did it 24/7 in Afghanistan (even in the John), with no mishaps. I continue to do it today. You will note that my carries normally include a Glock (though overseas it was a Beretta).
