[QUOTE="blutch, post: 865242, member: 8352"] I don't have my CCW yet, but should around the first of the year. I've been practicing carrying my gun around the house and sometimes in the car. Yeah.. I know.. not legal there... or am I? I have a S&W M&P 9mm. I cannot afford a 1911 yet just fYI. I'm not yet comfortable carrying the gun with a round in the chamber. It makes me very very nervous to do so and I'm wondering how you get used to it. I would feel much more comfortable if it had a manual safety and could be cocked and locked. I know they make this gun with one now, but mine doesn't have it. Is my worry (fear) irrational? How do those of you who carry a striker fire pistol with only a trigger safety deal with it? In terms of drawing the gun and making it ready to fire, with practice I can get pretty fast at drawing and racking the slide. Not quite as fast as releasing a thumb safety, but maybe only a second slower. For now, that second is worth the peace of mind. Someone talk me out of it please. ::teehee: Thanks B [/QUOTE]
