Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Do you carry with a round in the chamber?

It depends. In a situation with humans, loaded and ready.

In the bush, I like revolvers with the hammer on an empty hole in the cylinder. A fall and percussion on the hammer could mean bleeding to deatha long way from help with 6 rounds.. I know some professional trappers that work alone. One guy carries with 4 rounds- an empty under the hammer and the next one, in case a branch catches the trigger.
