carry a loaded Glock with one in the chamber?
DanClrk51:
Yes, my Glock 19 is carried with 16 rounds in the gun (15 in magazine 1 in chamber) :D.......and also in a holster that covers the trigger (Galco Stow 'n Go inside the waistband).

Exactly what I mean, Dan. I just wasn't sure how exactly to say it. Thanks.

I carry my Glock loaded and ready to go. You need to carry your weapon in a condition that makes it ready to use. Thinking about carrying without a round chambered? Read this thread; http://nebraskafirearms.org/forum/index.php/topic,4588.0.html
To be safe carry your Glock chambered in a properly fitted holster, on a properly constructed belt.
Practice drawing over and over again observing proper technique (Safety tip: finger off trigger until muzzle is on target and you have made a conscious decision to fire) this will eventually need to be done quickly.
Now practice re-holstering over and over again observing proper technique (Safety tip: finger off trigger, all clothing, gear, drawstrings, whatever cleared and away from the holster) do this slowly and deliberately. Never be in a hurry to re-holster.
People run into problems when during the draw they are too quick to get their finger on the trigger. There are a number of unconscious physical reactions that will make your hand contract, and if your finger is on the trigger you will have a negligent discharge. Everyone should know what these unconscious physical reactions are.
Same thing happens during re-holstering, finger on trigger, insert into holster = boom. Or you get some part of your gear or clothing caught in the holster that also results in a NG. This has happened numerous times at Front Sight as well as here in Nebraska at at least two CCW classes that I know of (not mine because we discuss this very subject at length)
Both of these problems can be traced to a lack of training and/or carelessness. Get some training, practice regularly and you will begin to feel more confident.
