Any one CC with empty chamber?

[Blaster229]

You're kidding?

I'm not. I'll ask again. What are people doing so often clearing and chambering that seating is an issue?

I don't think so. I have the same question he does. Are you dropping the mag and clearing the chamber every time you take the gun off?

When I was newer the game, I would unload the mag if loaded with JHPs for the range. Then reload them in the mag when done. Doing that once I don't think is a big deal. But now, I just either use a different gun or I let the JHPs fly. The seem to enjoy it.

My question was about handling and procedure. Never had a duty firearm. To clear a duty or w&c firearm regularly is silly. My world is different. I've heard/read bullet setback.

How else do you strip and clean your carry gun every night?

How often are people chambering and clearing a pistol in order for that to be an issue?

Several times per year, every time I come back home through the midwest.

How do you rotate the rounds to advoid bullet setback? Is using another mag to chamber feasible?

On the rare occasion you need to, yes, you can use another mag. Or on your next range trip, use the carry ammo, load and use range ammo, clean if necessary, load carry ammo, done.

And maybe use a quality round that has a cannelure and won't set back.

I haven’t experienced any setback issues with Speer Gold Dot.

I have 8 carry mags to pick from down the line and I rotate the rounds from top to bottom in them.

The chambered round always goes to the bottom of the magazine when I unload.

People have different systems but this works for me.

No need for all that fuss. Just stick it in the dishwasher.

Come now, what would be the fun in that?! After all, I think MDS specializes in

I carry a Glock so that is my normal method.

People either chamber & clear a lot , or almost never , but rarely In-between.

Some people are hard wired level ingrained to not store a hot firearm .

In settings where firearms are issued and returned each shift , they will have protocols for how they are stored in rack/ safe , which typically involve different degreed of ( not ready to immediately go ) .

So Semiautos ( in active rotation) are either loaded & unloaded at least once a day , or not until the next occasion to either shoot at the range , or the next occasion to field strip to wipe down due to environmental exposure / remove dust bunnies, and lubrication.


In extreme examples , or other fora have seen threads of guns that were taken on & off as a unit with IWB holster , and shocked when a year or so later when removing from holster , it was a mass of rust .

I'll be discreet and not name the agency , but am aware one step removed ( i.e. was told by one of people actually there ) of a duty gun , carried on duty , involved in a critical incident , that was actually rusted solid and non functional.

The point of those paragraphs , was that if routine administrative loading takes place , the condition of it would presumably be noticed before it became that far gone .

I'll name the agency. It was Baltimore city.

The cop would store his pistol in the freezer to keep it high and away from his kid. Months and months of constant condensation and thawing cause it to rust and fuse.

You carry a glock. They don't need to be cleaned.

Well , I guess there's at least two such incidents out there , because it was different agency to which I referred.

 

[Biggfoot44]

I get it . Sometimes an issue is complex and nuisance, and can have more than one context .

But Dang ! In post #320 msinc sure lays out a bunch of questions , and answers them himself in the usually correct manner , then seemingly ignores his own advice ?

I won't re- beat the already dead and decomposing equine for most of it .

But I will point out that the whole " Let the bad guys see and hear you chamber a round , and they'll know you are Really Serious , and thus quake in fear , and either run away very quickly , or meekly surrender:" thing is massively exaggerated, and has stronger arguments against it . Not least , Blaster's point about that would negate the option of discrete deployment.

But they always rack in the movies.

But they always rack in the movies.

The writers thought it looked cool even though the technical advisor said it was a bad idea.

 

[joppaj]

The solution is to get a a Glock. According to the movies they all make a chambering sound when raised and pointed, especially if pointed one-handed.

I cant remember what movie it was but the Glock made a revolver cocking noise
