1 in the chamber or not

As does the PX4 Storm.. DA is long and about 8 pounds
The Type "F" has a slide mounted Safety/Decocker
The Type "G" has a Decocker only with the same DA
And all have the firing pin block... That's the little pin that pops up near the rear sight... If it's not flush with the slide... You are either pulling the trigger or you have a problem.

I carry a PX4 Type "G"...with one in the pipe. No worries

Yeah, I've got a compact model and that is how I carry it as well. For all intensive purposes it functions exactly like an M9 save for the more modernized look, rotating barrel, and polymer frame which are all upgrades over the M9 as far as I'm concerned. I've thought of converting mine to a type "G" as well.

O wakefield724, wakefield724, wherefore art thou wakefield724?
Deny thy bullet and refuse thy chamber;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn +1
And I'll no longer be a Tcp.

original:
O Fabio, Fabio, wherefore art thou Fabio?
Deny thy bullet and refuse thy chamber;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn +1
And I'll no longer be a 1911.

Wellllll.........actually...........

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Thanks for all the advice. After a few days of keeping +1 and buying a good holster I feel much better about keeping +1. Its a great feeling being able to draw and shoot so quickly. Problem now is I can't find a comfy spot for inner waste band clip. I tried my back but that's a hassle every time you sit down. I ended up pocket carrying even though it's a semi bulky holster.

Try the 4-5 o'clock kidney carry. I recently started carrying there and found it comfortable. You also should try a more spread out holster like an Alien Gear instead of one where the holster clip is over the top of the gun.

What holster did you get? I carry mine between 3 and 4
It nestles right in under my ribs and disappears.

The M9 is what I was trained on also. I was a flight status Mech in the USAF.

My PX4 Compact as I said is a Type "G". I kept the big wing decocker on.( I have and tried the low profile wings) then decided to go back to the Big Wing/Decocker because
1. It helps me to rack the slide and
2. Prevents an accidental "Safety" during a re-rack in a FTF under stress.
I snap-capped that 100 times with a friend keeping track
And then we switched.... We both did a 60% Safe ON

Something to think about

I had heard of people accidentally turning on the safety. Probably why they taught us to use the slide release only on our M9s.

I carry a 1911= manual saftey, grip saftey, still have to pull the trigger. Its made for one in the chamber.

IMO nothing In the chamber is a bad idea. Just make sure you have evin a decent holster with the trigger covered, I buy my holsters on ebay... Nothing crazy expensive just leather with a clip for iwb.
