1911 Question from a 1911 Newbie

[sandeman]

Brace yourself. This thread is going to be a sh*t storm of opinions. Here is an informative link. My personal preference is condition 1.

The information on Andronitis link is extensive and useful.

Agree on condition 1, but in some states it would be a violation of conditions of Concealed Carry Permit to have a chambered round. Not a fan of that at all.....

Provide a cite please.

Sounds like bad internet information.

Yes it does. Unless he was referring to the old CA law that you could open carry a handgun as long as it was unloaded....

Hmmm, how do they carry?

An Uzi in each hand??

I have been carrying it since early yesterday, cocked and locked. Being the former owner of a revolver and the current owner of a Glock, minding my booger hook has never been an issue..

That said, I love carrying this thing.

Booger hook.

He said 'booger hook'!


Haven't heard that one in a while!!!!













Just bustin' your chops.
My first 'love' was a Combat Commander. I cry every time I think of when I sold it.

I love the gun...I just have to find the right holster for it. I like leather holsters and the plastic one the gun is in just doesn't do it for me looks wise.

I've got a couple and I love them, I really like how the belt goes thru them.

If you carry it in your waistband with the hammer back, make sure the safety is on. If not, it could become a de-cocker.

That video was great it explained the basics of what each condition means. Useful for someone new to CCW and Open Carry.

Thanks
