always topped off. if i have to unload for some reason, i'll place the extra round in my pocket, or in the glovebox of m ycar.
Myth.i dont carry +1 because it saves the springs from wearing out as quickly
You missed the first appearance of this myth in this thread . .REAPER4206969 said:Myth.LancerMW said:i dont carry +1 because it saves the springs from wearing out as quickly

How do you figure?That would all depend upon exactly where you lost that round...One less round, based strictly on a round count...no, not a big deal. But, losing one or having an unaccounted for round can be a very big deal, especially for safety sake

I gotta hear your reasoning behind this...But, losing one or having an unaccounted for round can be a very big deal, especially for safety sake.
But sometimes I want to unload and clear and I always have an extra loose round I have to deal with. I have been thinking of taking a round out of the mag so I have a place to put the chambered round when I unload.Do you guys carry this way or do you carry fully loaded? What do you do when you need to unload your carry gun?

Speaking of setback...Isn't it not good to reload the same bullet more than a couple times? That is part of the reason I find it hard to keep the gun chambered.
After carrying for a week or so I like to clean the gun and it seems that rechambering the gun after cleaning will have me going through a lot of bullets to remember not to rechamber.
Not all autos are equal. If a single round represents 6% of your total firepower, then maybe it's not a big deal. If it represents 14%, then you might want to put up with the extra effort.
