agreed, people need to do what they're comfortable with. along with that, training will build their confidence and make them more comfortable. training includes your normal carry position and setup, so train how you carry and how you'd react in a situation, otherwise training is no good.frazzled wrote:Course people still die in car wrecks by the thousands...proper holster and proper training. a car is as much or more deadly than the gun... look at how many people it kills every year, or even every day. with proper training, the risk in driving a car can be minimized, same with a handgun.
If you're not comfortable having one in the chamber then you're not comfortable. Some poeple trust the mechnicals of a device more than others. Frankly we're a a board with a majoiryt of people who are substantially more paranoid, and rightly, than the average person, else CHLs wouldn't even be discussed. Its natural than there will be a number of persons who's 'greater sensitivity to what can go wrong' would naturally extend to mechnicals as well.
If you're not comfortable, practice popping that slide quickly from the draw. If you're worried make sure you have sights that can be set against something to cock one handed in extremis. Its better to have something you have to take a half second to cock than to not be comfortable enough to have anything at all.
