Leccia Black lit while I try to figure out why Dean posted a gun review with no apparent reason why.
Since when do you have a problem with gun reviews? I presume he posted it because I mentioned having new guns. Morning, Tex.
Did not say I had a problem with gun reviews just can't figure out what he had in mind when posting that particular review. And you did not mention any particular guns or even types of guns.

Nope, just mentioned that I had two new guns. They are, in fact, an S&W M&P9 Shield and a Sig P220 Equinox.
As for the P30, the glaring red flag that stands out to me is its apparent lack of a decocker. Who makes a DA/SA without a decocker or manual safety? Thumbing the hammer on a semi-auto is begging to put a round where you don't want one.
I guess I over looked that issue. huh.
It's disconcerting to me. It's true that the most important safety on a gun is between the ears. But I want some sort of safety when holstering or unholstering the weapon. It can be internal as on my strikers, or external as on my SA's, or a decocker and manual as on my DA/SA's. But nothing at all? That makes me nervous.
on my Taurus .380 I don't keep a round chambered, and the .38 revolver I have the hammer on an empty chamber. just me being as careful as possible. too much can go wrong between the time it takes to get from the hand and the head.
Well, I think that's a bit TOO much caution. Unless you're training *hard* every day, carrying an empty chamber is a really iffy proposition if you ever have to - God forbid - pull the gun to fight, especially so on a small auto. Just too many things that can go wrong.
If the revolver is a modern double-action, it has a transfer bar and even hitting it with a hammer over a loaded chamber won't set it off.
Modern weapons are designed to be carried with a loaded chamber.
But each to their own. Personally, I always carry a loaded chamber.
