Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'plus one' in firearm terminology?

In firearm terminology, 'plus one' typically refers to the round chambered in the firearm, in addition to the rounds loaded in the magazine. This means the firearm is ready to fire immediately without needing to rack the slide.

What are the pros and cons of carrying a round in the chamber ('one in the head')?

Carrying a round in the chamber, often called 'one in the head,' allows for immediate deployment of the firearm in a self-defense situation. The primary concern is safety, as it requires careful handling and a reliable holster to prevent accidental discharge.

What is the Glock 42 and what caliber is it?

The Glock 42 is a compact semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Glock. It is specifically chambered in .380 Auto, making it a popular choice for concealed carry due to its smaller size and lighter recoil.

Why is the debate about carrying a round in the chamber important for self-defense?

The debate is crucial because in a high-stress self-defense encounter, every second counts. Having a round in the chamber means the firearm is ready to fire instantly, whereas a firearm without a round chambered requires the user to rack the slide, adding a critical delay.
