As to this question....their recommendation/instructions are merely a CYOA legal move. No one is really expected to carry a concealed weapon without one in the chamber. The biggest risk with a VersaCarry IMO is using it without the trigger guard.
TY hunter. I'm using it on a 1911 type, so I'm not worried about the trigger guard. I've tried it with my "uniform" and it works out nicely. No printing and very comfortable. It's really annoying that my job makes me wear a perfectly white uniform which we must change if we get so much as a grease stain on our cuff, but we have to leave by the back door! (that's where the seedy people like to troll)
Has anyone ever experienced a fail on a Versa? (breakage)
