IDF Soldier gets stabbed, draws with an empty chamber, struggles to chamber a round, and eventually neutralizes the would be killer. Certainly some lessons to be learned here. Plan accordingly... #Israel #IDF #palestine #selfdefense #EDC

A EDC with an empty chamber is a brick.

Remember folks: Keep the +1 so your family doesn't have -1.

Many people have a real fear of "one in the chamber," which must be overcome.

Carrying on an empty chamber is "normal" for conscripted people, isn't it? And for people carrying P320s?

Carry with one in the chamber. You may NOT be able to rack in time. You may NOT be able to rack if you're injured.

1.57 seconds. That’s how long a threat has to live once I decide to draw.

Israel also took away home defense firearms due to "shrinkage" before their citizens were raped, tortured, dismembered and burned to death. If I'm not mistaken, the government owns the vast majority of firearms in Israel and issues them to citizens. That sucks.

Carrying with an empty chamber is akin to thinking you will have time to put your seat belt on right before the crash.

IDF Soldier is bleeding badly. Seriously injured. What if he wasn't able to use both hands to charge up his sidearm? The "Israeli Method" is stupid.

Another recent knife situation, unfortunately this one didn't go the good guy's way.
