[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 16659000, member: 21786"] I'm not going to chastise anyone for carrying condition 3 because you shouldn't carry chambered if you don't personally feel comfortable with it, but at the same time I would never instruct anyone to carry condition 3 because I understand what happens and where you mind goes during a violent confrontation, and if you practice firearm safety you won't have to worry about an ND. If you in fact aren't training to muscle memory then it is very likely that during a violent confrontation you will draw your weapon and completely forget to put the weapon into condition 1, leaving you a standing target holding a gun that isn't going to work for you. During this violent confrontation you could be pulling the trigger the whole time thinking you are firing off rounds when that is actually not the case. What I mean by that is that your mind goes to an entirely different place that the majority of people have never experienced before. Normal logic doesn't apply as your brain goes into survival mode which means it reduces certain critical thinking and fine motor skills. A chemical cocktail gets dumped on your brain that distorts your reality with effects to your comprehension of time (time-space compression), limited auditory intake(auditory exclusion), tunnel vision, electrodermal stimulation, and mental track. Those 5 things are what will make you not do what you always plan to do and think you'll do when faced with a violent confrontation. A lot of people will say repetition of fundamentals and firearms training is what is going to get you through a gunfight and that is only partially true. It's training to counteract the chemical cocktail that is going to make you come out on top because it is what allows you to carry out tactics and accurately and consciously make decisions while you pick your targets in a firefight. When you shoot and train to the point of muscle memory your hands will do what they are supposed to do because it is your subconscious doing it for you when your brain is trying to shut down and adrenaline dump on you causing the effects mentioned above, but you still have to keep your brain in the fight. Letting your brain take over will have you either in the fetal position unable to move or running away as fast as you can. It's an amazing experience being in your conscious mind yet experiencing your subconscious carry out the drills you've trained for and finding out that even in the heat of the moment your shots were absolutely perfectly on target when you know your conscious mind never fully acquired the target, and that's because your subconscious mind was doing the work for you as it is faster than your conscious mind and it is pulling from the thousands of times you trained for speed and accuracy.
