Does your handgun have a round in the chamber?

[Constitution Hour]

Thank you for being such a reasonable gun owner. I would remove the nail clippers from the pink key someone could trim a nail.

good call. Thanks.

Yes, yes it does.

I'm with JWC on this.

The extractor slightly protrudes and serves as a loaded chamber indicator on many guns, including Glocks, so for reassurance I have made it a habit to run my trigger finger over the extractor before/after holstering. You can feel the protrusion as opposed to it resting flush when the chamber is empty. I also do a visual check every time I leave the house. Regardless, I always assume it's chambered.

I'm in the minority as my answer is no. I don't carry and I keep loaded magazines in just a couple of my guns in the safe. I've always felt I could chamber in a split second if need be. I have small kids and while I would never leave a loaded gun near them, heaven forbid I did there wouldn't be one in the pipe. To me it's a safety thing I guess.

Serious. The OP asked the question and I answered it. I wasn't being sarcastic.

I just hope your attacker doesnt have one in the chamber either.

If that's what makes you feel comfortable that's all that matters. I just wan't sure if you were being serious.

Unless it's sitting in the safe, it's chambered and ready to fire. Hell, I don't even like safeties on carry weapons
