The New Wave of Double Stack Micro Compacts

I'm starting to see the difference, where a J-Frame, can be perfectly safe, and then put into motion with one-hand, versus the two hands it takes to chamber a bullet with a striker fired pistol.

WTF are you or anyone doing carrying an unchambered gun?

It wears on me that I am relying on a manufacturer of guns to tell me it is safe to carry this loaded, chambered, striker fired, gun, on my person. This is basic buyer beware type behavior, and since I cannot prove to myself that I am 100% safe in doing this, I choose to carry unchambered.

There are also "oopsie" moments, etc.

The way I carry, neither of those cases will happen to me, and like someone above said, I still am carrying, if not with immediate availability

It's called training. 1-3 trips a year to the range . You might as well carry a knife and mase.

The likely hood that I will be suddenly and violently attacked, is small. Will I survive that first attack, maybe. Will I be able to access my gun, maybe.

It's for sure not a great solution, but neither is being attacked suddenly and violently.

99.9% of the people interviewed after an incident say. YOU KNOW, I never thought something like that could happen (insert: school, home, neighborhood, shopping etc) here.

I guess carrying a 5-shot snub is only for squares these days.

I carry a 3" Colt King Cobra, nothing like 6 rds of jhp's ruining ones day. When i fell like it's a wheel gun day

Here’s my personal opinion. Carrying a firearm and drawing it safely and getting your shots on target goes FAR BEYOND a basic or intro to CCW class. It’s a skill set that must be learned and practiced as part of your life.
Holstering the firearm safely is also a major part of this as well.

Holstering a gun safely is as important. If not more than the ability to draw from it.

It's the perfect storm for an unexpected discharge. Or dropping it, or a number of other things. A good quality holster is as important as the choice of the gun you carry.

I don't know why I thought of Mr. Microwave to the face, but I did. So many people do a sympathy squeeze, I'm surprised he didn't. Trigger discipline and muzzle discipline as we all know are the biggest factors that keep us from dying from our own stupid's.
