Carrying With A Round In The Chamber Saved My Life - CNP 22

About this video

Colion shares the story of Chris, a Seattle-area jeweler who survived an attempted armed robbery during a jewelry sale meetup. Colion reports that Chris credits Colion’s video on carrying with a round in the chamber for saving his life during the encounter. Chris describes his defensive gun use experience, the challenges he faced during the incident, and the lessons he learned about equipment, training, and preparedness.

Key takeaways

• Colion emphasizes that Chris’s ability to carry with a round chambered made the critical difference when he was forced to draw against an armed attacker who was already presenting a weapon
• According to Chris’s account as shared by Colion, real defensive encounters involve physiological effects like auditory exclusion, tunnel vision, loss of fine motor skills, and adrenaline that make trained techniques difficult to execute perfectly
• Colion highlights Chris’s lessons about equipment failures under stress—including his red dot sight snagging on clothing during the draw and a stovepipe malfunction caused by a weak grip—which led Chris to simplify his carry setup and train more realistically
