Re: To chamber or not to chamber

Along the same line, my weapon is hammerless, and has a thumb safety and a decocker.

I am firmly settled on a round in the chamber.

The options I am considering remain:

1. Cocked, Safety on. (single action)
2. Decocked, Safety off, double action (there is a trigger safety & firing pin block)
3. Decocked, Safety on.

I'm interested in others thoughts on this, I'm currently leaning toward #2 above

I applaud the OP for asking the question. It shows serious (and appropriate) thought and concern. :tiphat:

I'm not sure the "search" thing applies here. The tenor of this particular discussion seems to change; used to be (seemed to be) that the most important thing was that the licensee be comfortable and familiar with the firearm, otherwise they might not carry at all. You just can't "teach" this familiarity in a short course (last I knew, infantrymen were told to sleep with the rifle). ;-)

As always, the humble opinion of a relative newbie. :tiphat:
"Sleep with the rifle"

HHMMM The rifle in the equivalent of condition 1?

That might be a scary thought. :headscratch
