Unless you're willing to train in Israeli style carry, of course you keep one in the pipe.
A friend, who is also a Krav Maga instructor, carries regularly but for various reasons, does not keep one in the chamber. But he's practiced enough that he can chamber one in a fraction of a second, says he can even rack the slide on an opponents face if he's grappling.

it's socially unacceptable to be ahead of your time.

I don't know why you are suprised....it's a common word for a barrel and a word that you used yourself in the initial question. Have fun with that search button!Daltex1 wrote:WOW! Never seen the search button.You learn something everyday!Suprised pipe would be the keyword!

At least one of my 1911s, my bride's XD, DPMS A-15, Shotgun, Garand. Most of the rest of the guns remain unloaded, I figure if it can't be done with one or the other, it's probably time to just roll up in a big ball and die.
Real gun control, carrying 24/7/365

Re: Do you keep one in the "pipe?"
I don't have all of my guns loaded at home, but certainly the ones that are practical for self-defense. The Marlin Model 60 (.22 rifle) and the Mosin-Nagants aren't something I would use for SD. The .22 is fairly self-explanatory, and as I live in an apartment complex, there's too much liability in using the Russian rifles, as they'll penetrate even brick walls with relative ease. I have the shotty loaded up with 00 Buck at all times, and all of my pistols are ready for action (unless being cleaned, of course).jimlongley wrote:Venus Pax wrote:Always.

As far as a response to the OP, yes, I carry all my pistols with one in the pipe. My main carry is a Hi-Power, carried condition one - cocked and locked.
