The angled mars carrier up front is on tek-lok and I run it intermittently. Looking at a good/easy way to swap the dump pouch for an additional rifle mag, depending on the situation.

If you post a video of you drawing a glock from a serpa, chambering, and firing with a hit on an IPSC (or equivalent) silhouette, at a range of 5 yards or greater, in one second or less, I will re-up your membership or buy you a pmag. Your choice.

Also, while that speed was impressive, do it again from a proper start, and with a timer with a random delay. Because anyone can be blazing fast with their hand on the gun and support hand already in position when they can draw whenever they like.

Definitely curious what @bcauz3y and the others have to say.

ETA - Can you do the one handed loading thing too? I just want to see it.

It was around 20 degrees when we shot the video. I was wearing a hood because it's cold. Not because I think I'm gangster or whatever you're possibly insinuating. I stuck on a sweatshirt over another sweatshirt over a T-shirt rather than a coat since I didn't want a coat in my way of reaching my holster. I also stuck sweat pants under my jeans. Yea, I probably look ridiculous to someone watching the video that doesn't know me..

I got a few insults and figured it was the going trend. Your posts are usually helpful and knowledgeable so I should have known better.

I took one practice shot and then had her film me, so this was my one and only attempt today. I hit the target and my time from pushing the paddle release on the holster to firing the round was .46 seconds. This is a fairly average time for me for cocking on the draw, so I'm not making excuses. I can certainly do it quicker and more precisely though.
I won't argue if you want to pay my membership fee but I don't expect it, the specifics of the video were never discussed!!!! I wanted to make the video anyway to possibly help others understand how it's done. Sometimes it's easier to do something once you see someone else do it.
Edit= I was 24' from the target during the video.

So here is the video for you guys who didn't think it was possible. This should pretty well put to rest that drawing and cocking a pistol in one motion is too slow and the added time will cost your life. When the weather is nicer I'll make a better video and go into detail explaining what I'm doing.

That said you did do everything you said you could to include hitting the target in under a second.  I paid for a one year bronze membership for your account.  Thanks for posting a video.

How are y'all mounting knives to your belts? Zip ties are plenty secure but look like trash

Second, if you end up needing to pull out your IFAK, you probably aren't returning it with all it's contents. Have you tried experimenting which items it will and will not fit easily back in with? This will at least give you a good idea how likely you are to have trouble getting it in. Less ideal, you could drop it in a cargo pocket if in a hurry, then properly stow when you have time.

This kit all fits in the in the MTK.  Note the trauma bandage is a 4" and is flat packed, the tape is flat folded and shorter than most, and the chest seals are compact size.  You don't need to buy the kit from BFG, but you do need the smaller sized contents for it all to fit.

That's the thing, people seem to think ''confidence'' is what it's about. I get the impression most people that are carrying with one in the chamber somehow think it justifies that they are well trained and confident in their ability or gear. It's not about confidence in myself or my pistol at all. It's just common sense to me. No one can foresee every situation or every outcome. Accidents can sometimes happen and no one is at fault. The wind blows your shirt as you draw or holster, you slip in the snow, the dog bumps into you, a bee stings your finger and it jerks the trigger unconsciously etc. etc....the possibilities are endless. There's also human error that can and does happen from being tired or not paying attention. There's also other possibilities, like a child grabbing your gun or a bad guy grabbing your gun.
Leaving one in the chamber is a risk every time the pistol is drawn or holstered and this isn't even factoring in the possibility of mechanical error. There is risk beyond someone's personal abilities to control sometimes and it ends up with an unwanted discharge all to often. Why risk anything ever, when it's not necessary? Is it because someone thinks they need to save a quarter second on their fast draw, not likely?
It also comes down to what situation someone is in and what pistol they are using. On a striker fired pistol with no thumb safety like a Glock, no, I won't be carrying with one in the chamber unless I am pretty sure I may need to use it.
This is an argument no one can win and will continue forever. Some think they are highly trained and beyond a discharge happening to them. Some realize the risk and do not believe there is a benefit that outweighs the risk. If I was in a combat area and there was a high probability of using my pistol, then yes, I would have the gun chambered and ready, possibly already drawn. Dropping my daughter off at school or going to the grocery store, no.
Speed is also a very relative term and not everyone reacts the same or moves at the same speed. If it takes one person 4 seconds to draw a loaded pistol and hit a target are they safer than someone who can draw and cock a pistol and put a round on target in one second? Simply believing that you have an advantage because a round sits in your chamber is an artificial belief, IMO. The possibility of a situation not going as you expect is very real though.
