Why do some leave one chamber empty in the cylinder? I cannot see how that is a safety of any sorts. Maybe tell a scenario or two where this is a good practice.
I guess I never assumed anyone would typically carry an SA.One chamber empty or not while you carry
This poll is meaningless.
Why is it even a poll?
Until this thread, I'd never heard of it being used on double action revolvers
Actually, I know of a couple people that do it. Single Action or Double Action, Semi Auto too. Even with logic they are still correct for doing it that way, so why argue?As mentioned, the practice is used on single action revolvers. Until this thread, I'd never heard of it being used on double action revolvers (I've never done it [or even thought of doing it])
I thought of the "first chamber" thing as well since the OP doesn't specify which chamber is empty.My brother-in-law lives in Utah where it's legal to open carry w/out a permit...however, you have to be "two actions away from firing." By leaving your first chamber empty it complies with the law.
