I used to carry a 1911 Colt cocked and locked for years, I got old and it got heavy or both.

I'm not sure how a pistol goes off with a hug, I'd like to see more info on that.

Not carrying with a round in the chamber? Do people still carry a revolver with and empty chamber under the hammer? Not normally. Most semi autos are designed to be carried with a round in the chamber but its up to each person on how to carry a weapon.

I did a look because the story is old. This must be the source, or a source of the original story I heard. It was in the news all over at the time.

Unless everybody thinks they are a gunfighter, why carry with a round chambered?

I dropped the chambered round when a Sherif with a holstered M&P in a Galco shoulder rig had a round discharge when he was hugged at a wedding and it killed the woman who hugged him from behind. I'll take the risk of the extra half-second to rack the action.

FWIW, I like the Bianchi 56 Serpent Holster which keeps everything nice and tidy.

I think that was in Detroit, he was at a wedding, and was dancing with one woman, and another came up behind and started dancing from behind ( freaking ? ) Terrible thing to happen.

I'm not bringing you to the bar.

But he was dancing with his wife... Can't be getting hugs from some strange when the Mrs. is around.. You married? you should know then

Nope, not married and as a single guy, I have no problem when younger women randomly run up and hug me. :drink:

And for the rest of the story Adaisha Miller Was On Her Knees When She Was Killed - The Truth About Guns

"Miller was dancing behind Officer Isaac Parrish at his home in Archdale and was on her knees and tugging at Parrishç—´ waist when his holstered gun fired, striking her in the chest, a police official familiar with the investigation said Tuesday."

"Best guess: it really was an accident. Officer Parrish was at a party being serviced by a woman who was inconveniently not his wife when the “exotic” Ms. Miller became a little too demonstrative and yanked on his gun in its POS soft holster. He may have been drunk, too, not that we’ll ever know for sure since his brothers in blue didn’t administer a breathalyzer test. Cause that could have been awkward, what with the dead body there on the floor and e’rything. Say what you want about the Motor City, but their thin blue line sure sticks together."

Yikes.
