Well, that sure is interesting, and kudos to you for putting thought into your carry system, but IMO it's a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.

If it works for you...........

I don't see what the big deal is here.  Cross draw is great while driving.

At least the OP carries. Two guns.  

Some here don't carry at all.

In this exact specific case only, I might suggest in order to keep handling errors to an absolute minimum and keep the carry situation to what OP is asking for, I would suggest perhaps ditching the semi auto and simply carrying two seven round revolvers with the empty chamber under the hammer.  Admittedly they will be harder to conceal, but someone who carries two sidearms usually has figured out how to dress around the sidearms. This will give you what you want with minimal fuss and bother, and no need to try to remember to rack a slide under stress. Of course, modern revolvers with transfer bar safeties are about as safe as carrying a completely unloaded gun unless you put your finger on the trigger. Of course, finger on trigger ruins your system as well, as the same DA pull will automatically bring that first round under the hammer, or, in the case of the semi auto...nothing. Like I told people who carried a cocked and locked 1911 without ever practicing swiping off that safety, "First you look stupid, then you look dead."

Keep it simple.

There is no real threat of an AD with a modern striker fired handgun in a quality holster, dressing to the gun, and some training. The problem you think is there is already solved.

You should carry three DA revolvers with the first two chambers empty. You'll be triple-double-safe.

Agreed. If you are concerned about carrying a sidearm with a round in the chamber why don’t you just load a blank in the chamber for for a week, a month, or how ever long it takes you to feel comfortable it’s not going to go off on it’s own? Sig haters aside, we all know if you carry properly it won’t go off. If you carry a gun around for a while and it doesn’t fire the blank it won’t fire a live round.

And I realize this exercise proves nothing. All it does is provide the individual deliberating with piece of mind.

I prefer to carry a baseball bat, while wearing a Yankees baseball cap. If anyone asks, I just tell them I used to play for the Yankees.

I tried sticking the bat down my pants for concealed carry, but I kept getting stopped by women who....wanted to chat, so I stopped the concealed carry.

I have not actually had to defend myself with the bat, but I find it much safer then a firearm to carry.

Just having a bit of fun! Carry or don't carry what and how you are comfortable with. Best of luck OP.

A holster below addresses carrying with an empty chamber.  (I believe an Israeli design, since I believe they still mandate carry with an empty chamber)


but first:
1 how old are you.
2 how long have you owned and used handguns?
3 Have you had any formal training?
4 If so how much
5 What certifications did the instructor(s) have?

Just off the top of my memory the only modern revolver that for safety must be carried with an empty chamber under the hammer is the Colt Single Action Army and some early Ruger single action revovlers. (Most Colt single action clones have safety devices where a full 6 round cylinder is safe to carry)

The overwhelming, into the 99th percentile, cause of a gun "going off" is because the trigger was deliberately pulled.

Your guns only fire if you pull the trigger, so on one of them, you still have that risk.

If you're not comfortable carrying one in the chamber, you're not competent enough to carry, period.

First of all, I've watched a LOT of porn, so that's highly unlikely.

Second of all, the reason I was there was because I, as a member of a more professional, better equipped, better trained, better disciplined, Army was entrusted with the responsibility of keeping them and their murderous rape fantasies in check. You may THINK they're better warriors than I, but their unwillingness to fuck around and find out proves otherwise. Third, if they were such a smart, successful nation of warriors they'd be more of a European powerhouse, rather than a third world backwater whose only accomplishments have consisted of murdering and raping women, children, and old people.

The fact is, the only people Serbs can beat in combat are unarmed Romas and Albanians. That's not a martial history upon which to build a foundation of your revolutionary system of gun fighting.

The only revolver even semi-recent I can think of with no safety is a Ruger Blackhawk pre-1972 that hasn't had the conversion. I can't think of any post-WWII revolvers that aren't drop safe. That was 80 years ago, hardly relevant. Hell, even a Ruger Old Army cap and ball revolver is drop safe since you can rest the hammer between cylinders.

So if your revolver remembers the great depression, then maybe double check how it works.

I understand that according to mechanical principles and designs, there is a great safety factor in both DA pistols and revolvers, but it comes down to what you trust.

If youre comfortable trusting engineers and manufacturers to deliver absolute infallible safety, that is your choice. Me personally, unless I built and tested that mechanism thoroughly, I wont trust it absolutely, and maybe not even then.

Its really a metaphysical principle as much as a mechanical one. Its what I know I can trust versus what Im told/convinced I should trust.

I was going to say something else, but this pretty much sums it up:

"You have developed a needlessly complicated and unnecessary "system" to address a problem that is in your head."


I've heard it voiced a number of ways, but it boils down to "no plan survives first contact." It is my opinion that your "system" is an overly complicated response to a situation (an AD from a properly holstered firearm possibly harming your friends and family) that has an extremely low possibility of happening. If you demand .00000 percent of this happening, that's your decision. Just don't expect everyone else to share your eureka moment.

When you announce that you have come up with a "perfect" system for avoiding a problem that many of us here don't share, you should expect some pushback. If you don't like what you perceive as ad hominems, maybe some don't like being lectured by someone who claims to have come up with a "perfect" anything.

I'm sorry, but your "the facts speak for themselves and no one can challenge them" is just a little too presumptuous for me.

But many are still rightly nervous to carry with a hot chamber because it violates the first rule of handguns - don't point at what you don't want to destroy.

The system I have devised is based on absolute, total safety - without compromising readiness, reliability or capacity. I call it Serbian carry.

It consists of two handguns. A primary weapon, a crossdraw carry revolver with an empty chamber under the hammer and the rest of the cylinder loaded, and a secondary semiauto with an empty chamber carried at three o'clock (carry positions can vary to suit the operator's preference).

No matter what happens, those firearms will not go off accidentally. You could get hit by a bus crossing the street and both guns could fly into a wall or under a truck, they still wont fire.

However, if a threat arises, no racking is necessary to fire the primary firearm and meet the threat with deadly force, giving you time to draw the secondary weapon and rack it, one handed if need be.

I devised this system with my Charter Arms pitbull in .45acp and Glock 30, carried at 10 and 3 o'clock respectively but of course you can adapt it to your caliber and carry preference.

I wonder which occurs most often:

1. Concealed carrier discharges gun in self defense;

Or

2. Concealed carrier has a negligent discharge when holstering weapon or during administrative handling.

I bet #2 is FAR more common than #1.  Carrying without a round in the chamber significantly reduces risk of #2.  We’re all capable of having a negligent discharge, mitigating this risk is as important as being prepared to defend yourself with a firearm.  

Everyone needs to do their own risk assessment and prepare as they see necessary.

Assuming that 3rd hand story is even true, you know what that says to me? Cheap crappy holster.

People spend $300 to $1000 on a carry gun, but then they won't spend more than $19 on a proper holster for it (and I'm not going to even go into getting a proper belt).

If you can't turn your holster upside down without the gun falling out, it's an unsafe crappy holster. If it needs a velcro strap to hold the gun in, it's an unsafe crappy holster.

Please people, don't be that guy. We already see enough idiot gun owners making us all look bad in the news.

Look a modern revolver is simply not going to go off unless you pull the trigger, whether it's a transfer bar or other system it doesn't matter, so there's zero point in carrying a revolver with an empty chamber, period.

And if you do work that trigger by accident, the only thing that will save you from an AD is having the next chamber in line empty (not the one under the hammer), but if you do that you're gonna pull your gun and it's just going to go click when you pull the trigger.

You're dead wrong here OP.

We all have been wrong here at some point in the past, no shame in it, and takes a good man to listen to advice, admit he was wrong, and change his protocol.
