Semiautomatic Handguns

Should a semiautomatic handgun be carried with a round in the chamber? Yes. Next question? It’s an issue much on the minds of many because Americans have been buying guns at the rate of more than a million a month for more than 50 months. Most of those handguns are semiautomatic.

Full disclosure: I learned to shoot handguns with revolvers, attaining expert status, but as semiautos evolved, becoming not only as reliable as revolvers, and with the advent of Glocks, which took over the police and civilian markets, became expert with those as well. I’ve fired and owned every trigger mechanism, single action as in the 1911 and P-35 Hi-Power, double action, double action only and striker fired as in Glocks.
