Loaded chamber safe for carry?

Prepper:
Yes. Thank you.

pardt:
I personally would not carry a loaded cocked 1914 Mauser Pistol if I had newer viable options at my disposal. But if that's what I had to carry I would carry the 1914 cocked with the safety on.

I totally agree. This isn't the gun to take to a gun fight with the options available to us today. They are great to tinker with, collect and shoot on the range but low power for defense purposes, especially the .25 version. Yes, they will kill but placement has to be perfect. And the magazine changes are slow at best. Choose a modern handgun for concealed carry defense in a caliber sufficient to win the fight God forbid it happens and with sufficient capacity to engage multiple attackers. Where there is one bad guy, very often his buddy isn't far away. Also a modern design that allows for fast for magazine changes. These guns are called curio/relics for a reason. They are museum pieces, not modern defensive handguns. A small amount of money buys a new S&W M&P with a spare magazine in .40 cal. But, if a 1914 Mauser is all you have....sell it to me and buy a new gun with money left over.
