Condition Two is considered loaded chamber, loaded magazine, hammer down. Pretty well describes the way I carry a revolver. On the old Colts and others they carried hammer down on an empty chamber for safety reasons. I'd consider that Condition Three.




Chit... here in the Ozarks we just call that "Condition Two double action revolver"... a loaded gun.


'Condition Two' is more descriptive than 'loaded gun' as it indicates the hammer position as well as chamber status. A revolver with a loaded cylinder and the hammer cocked is very different than one with the hammer down. But perhaps you haven't noticed.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
