A Gathering Place for Rohrbaugh Firearms Enthusiasts
No Josh. . . . . Just cycling the slide to remove or replace a round is not affecting the recoil spring count as it is not taking the hit from a round being fired. Different set of dynamics in play Good Sir! ;-)Eric R.

I know you have children at home but just ejecting the round in the barrel doesn't make the gun safe if the loaded mag is still in the gun. My HST in the pipe usually never leaves it unless I pull the trigger.I do use the R9 and one other pistol most of the time and can just holster them in the safe with the round chambered. Perhaps I will consider modifying my practice. Thanks for the good idea tracker.

My HST in the pipe usually never leaves it unless I pull the trigger.I have a few too many guns in my rotation to be honest. I have made it my practice to only chamber a round in a weapon I'm carrying. May not be necessary for some, but my people tend to be a slightly scatter brained folk from time to time and I have found myself fooling around with a pistol for a solid 30 seconds before actually thinking "is there a round in this chamber?" Not good. So I elimainate that by unloading prior to re safing. Then no finger on the trigger. Then racking and inspecting the firearm prior to messing with it. If it's a weapon I'm carrying or bedside it's hot and always treated as such. Good question. Probably overkill for some people.

Reasonable minds will differ on this subject and one factor is probably the number of your carry pistols. Mine is always the R9 and I always know that it is loaded. Forgetting to chamber a round can work to your disservice also.
