Carrying on an empty chamber?

[allamericaninfidel]

Inquiring minds want to know how you get "bullet setback" with a round that headspaces on the rim of the case. The bullet itself never touches anything.

What pushes the bullet back into the case?

Ramp contact

Wrong. Explain to me then why some large mouth hollow point ammo do not feed in some of the semi-autos? Why polishing the feed ramp helps with feeding issues?

If you have calipers, measure a round, and chamber the same round 10 times, then measure the overall length. Do not try to fire that round. Soak it in oil to deactivate the primer, and then properly discard.

Semi-auto rounds use taper crimp, friction between case and bullet holds the bullets in the case.

I do not carry on an empty chamber because, If God forbid, you need to stop an attack, you may not have the ability to wrack the slide. You also have a higher probability of causing a stoppage. If you’re afraid that you’ll shoot yourself, dry fire practice, dry fire practice, dry fire practice.

Be safe ODT

He said it was going in a holster and swears their finger wasn't on the trigger.

This. This is a well-known fact in semi-autos. If you’re someone that is constantly loading and unloading your carry gun, you need to periodically replace those top two rounds that keep going in and out of the chamber.

Some semi-autos and calibers are worse about it than others.
