If you’re so operator that you have that round in the chamber, 3 backup mags in easily accessed holsters on your belt a backup piece in your boot, and 2 knives to draw in case of a scuffle…. Still, I’m eagerly anticipating the day when these become available. Comprehensive situational awareness should more than compensate for any slight delays from your method of carry.

I am not at all well versed in the subject, I am just a WWII military history buff that read a little about it in connection with aircraft protection. As for the importance of shaving the fractions of a second by having a round already chambered, I personally think that so much time is going to be spent in the OODA loop, deciding whether or not to take action, and if so, whether or not to actually shoot, that it won’t make much difference overall. If you are a cop you can carry with a round in the chamber. Our area of responsibility was Western Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The knifer in arms reach and a free hand would also consistently foul a handgun drawstroke if they have any self-awareness whatsoever. People act like cops when administratively handling their gun: Unconsciously trained, they should know better, but they aren’t thinking about it, and accidents happen. Your lack of legitimate training in both handgun and knife disciplines is apparent. I ask TTAG how many readers have had a ND? I have never had an accidental discharge and have seen more than I can count… a child picking up the gun, someone not checking his safety before holstering or unholstering, etc., often with tragic results.

He is probably the inventor of the “shoot house.” His WWII hand-to-hand fighting system was the father of Krag Maga.

This takes away from the sense of personal responsibility for their firearm. Can you honestly say my tactical situation did not improve once I started carrying? Let’s get back to this baby. Would you give an example? Frankly, if I’m in situation where I feel the need for the safety of an empty chamber- kids around, off body carry, etc- I would want the safety of an empty gun. You put yourself at a disadvantage too, though Actually it sounds a lot more like you only care about your own opinion and no one elses.
