I'm a revolver guy as is easy to tell by my forum name... the last 2 years I've been carrying a TCP in 380... but this year at Christmas I bought myself a LCR-X short barrel, with the intention of getting back to a revolver...
I have this small concern, that 1st came to mind, back when I turned 50, & took up rollerblading... ( I'm not very good at rollerblading ) I once, fell & got myself up, brushed myself off, & got going again... several 100 yards down the trail, as I was giving myself a once over, I noticed my holster was empty... I went back to where I fell ( off the trail ) & there in the leaves was my TCP... which I had started carrying, because it was cheap & rust resistant, but was cheap, in case I fell & broke it... I had gotten in the habit of carrying with an empty chamber, because I often do very physical work around the farm, & have had it get ripped from the holster in the past ( yep... I use a good holster with a leather retention strap) but cutting brush, & wrestling animals, stuff happens...
got me thinking, that I was glad I had an empty chamber, if a kid had come along & found the gun beside the trail, before I got back... seems just a couple months ago, & kid pulled his mothers gun from her purse, & accidently shot her, while she was shopping...
a full sized auto with a safety would prevent a little kid from pulling the trigger... a revolver has no safety device... that LCR-X has a pretty easy trigger pull... anyone given thoughts along those lines...
