Influencer Gives The Best “One In The Chamber” Take I’ve Heard

About this video

Colion reacts to an Instagram influencer’s video about carrying with a round in the chamber, using it to reinforce safety principles he says he’s taught for over a decade. He presents his argument that chambered carry is essential for self-defense, comparing it to wearing a seatbelt before a crash occurs. Colion addresses common fears about appendix carry safety and shares what he describes as a real defensive gun use story to illustrate why racking a slide under stress can fail.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that carrying without a round chambered is like driving without a seatbelt—by the time you need it, it’s too late to prepare
• According to Colion, fine motor skills degrade under stress, making slide manipulation unreliable during an actual threat
• Colion teaches that modern firearms in quality holsters covering the trigger guard will not fire on their own, addressing common appendix carry fears
• Colion shares an account he attributes to a jeweler named Chris, who says a chambered round and situational awareness were critical to surviving a robbery attempt
