Does your handgun have a round in the chamber?

Sorry, didn't mean to side track the thread...it just reminded and old guy of a story from the past.

You thread sidetracker!

And what's the other one, LT?

(You already know but for the sake of those who don't...)

The other loudest sound is a "bang" when you expect a "click". As in, "No, it's not loaded here, take it...."

And by the way, that is my favorite "smiley"... it should be a permanent fixture on all posts by CCW.

Well, we live and learn, huh? The Glock does have a loaded chamber indicator on the extractor. Just think of the reasons why you didn't check the pistol before holstering and figure it out. No harm no foul this time, which is the happy ending. Thanks for bringing this up.

+1 on this. I always check each time I strap it on.

Yep! The only time one's not in the pipe, when the niece and nephew are visiting.

Yep. Old ones did not not, but the the extractor still extended past the slide, so you could feel it. before Glock upgraded Gen 2 G22 I used to have with a new extractor, I would always swipe the slide before carry.
Also, was the trigger in reset position on the empty chamber? Did you rack the slide before loading magazine in? That's the only way I can see it happening.

PS always one in the pipe.

I don't even keep boolits in my clip as it gets to heavy when loaded.

Without a loaded chamber, you might as well carry a knife imo.
