Guy CC'ing in Store

[Titanium Man]

So we're strolling around a grocery store tonight, and saw a man CC'ing, which wasn't unusual, until I looked closer.

He was carrying a 1911 .45, and I could have swore the hammer was back on the gun.

Huh!!??

 

[fastwally]

I think that's called cocked and locked.

 

[Bunnykid68]

What is wrong with that?

 

[phylodog]

If I were to carry a 1911 I wouldn't carry it any other way.

 

[Twentyfootdaredevil]

How else would you carry a 1911?

 

[Cannon762]

Condition one! I think a good amount of people that carry 1911's do so.

 

[cobber]

I don't get it? Where should the hammer be?

 

[M67]

What is wrong with that?

This

 

[sloughfoot]

Yup, cocked and locked. That is how the 1911 should be carried. Not a very good job of CC if you were able to see it.

Stuff happens.

Well, considering that's how they are designed to be carried I'd say that's perfectly normal. You do have two safeties engaged after all. The grip safety and the thumb safety.

I find it hard to believe that someone with 1600+ post on here wouldn't know that a 1911 is designed to be Cocked and Locked. Are we just trying to spark conversation?

 

[Titanium Man]

Hmm. Who da figured.

Yep, have never seen someone carry one, so I never really thought about it.


All my pistols are DA, so the hammer's down.

Thanks

BTW.............I don't own a 1911, which is why I never really thought about it.

Thanks for the info.

Didn't we kick the crap out of this dog only a week ago?

Condition 0

 

[blamecharles]

If you ever meet me my CZ75 will be cocked and locked also. Like posted above they are meant to be carried in that manner.

 

[Titanium Man]

Condition 0

Thanks!

 

[Mad Man]

CC carry? Don't have a 1911 but if I did it wold be Condition One

Sorry, but you are wrong. The "desired" carry method was instituted by various agencies, based around the design. It was not designed to be carried in any one particular condition. You may see recommendations, but no hard proof of what you claim.

Thanks!
