Re: do you carry chambered?

Dakota, nylon is not the safest of materials to be used for a holster. It bends easily, and is much more likely to deform and find its way into the trigger guard than a quality leather or kydex holster. If you really want to be safe, then that holster is the first thing that you will need to change....

Is a quality holster expensive? Relative to a nylon one, yes. Relative to a hospital visit because of an ND? Not at all. And what price tag can you put on the safety of yourself and your family and the peace of mind that comes from having a holster that you know is going to do its job correctly all the time?

And you worry about it being loaded and not having a safety and you having a kid. So I will address this. Does your child ever obtain access to your firearm when you are not present or is he or she able to remove it from your holster without you knowing?

And how about this for the safety of your family: Criminals attack people who they see are easy targets. A parent who is busy paying attention to their child is a good target because they can be easy to get the jump on. If this was to happen to you do you really think you would have time to draw your weapon and rack the slide? You would probably be limited to only having your firing hand available because you will most likely be using your weak hand to protect your wife, child or both....

A quality holster, and a round in the chamber is the safest combination.
