That is the question. OK, I carry either a PPK/s or as Sig 232. I carried each in an ankle holster w/a strap accross the hammer and a chambered round.
BUT . . .
I've recently started carrying in the SmartCarry, inside the pants holster. FYI, this is similar to the Thunderwear brand.
Well, I don't carry the sig this way b/c it has no external safety. I've carried the PPK/s this way b/c w/the safety engaged the gun is effectively locked.
BUT . . .
Lately, I've been getting a little antsy about this arrangment and have started carrying the PPK/s w/out a chambered round. I started doing it when I read that the Israeli's (no slouches) carry in condition 3.
Am I just being paranoid? Is this a good idea?
BTW, when carrying in an ankle holster I always chamber a round b/c I figure that the strap will hold the hammer down and keep it from firing. Also, in the event of a discharge the muzzle isn't pointed at my dearest parts!
