I have a several guns with front slide serrations and may be slow here, but I still don't get it. I give my word I am not attempting to be a smart-ass here.
If you have time to do a chamber check then you have TIME. If you don't have time to do a chamber check then you don't have time. This idea of a tactical speed chamber check is confusing me. I thought we were not to wrap our hands around the front of the slide as part of our hands could go into the ejection port and foul the loading process, resulting in a gun not able to fire - which would be down right embarrasing in a gunfight. Also, I don't like the idea of my hand in the front area of a gun that is loaded, is there an advantage to checking readiness this way that I don't know about? So, with my ignorance stated I am standing by in my asbestos panties to hear the answers.
BTW - I have nothing against the serrations, and now they are pretty much standard fare for quality 1911's, but back when it was a custom option that cost over a hundred bucks - why were folks doing it?
This is just for fun, I ask that noone get to angry with the question.
