Exactly!

When I first started carrying a 1911, I followed Jeff Cooper's logic. I played with carrying in different conditions and "discovered" that cocked & locked was the only way to carry a 1911. Nothing has changed over the last 40 years to make me carry a 1911 differently. For me, a 1911 is either C&L or it is unloaded and in the safe.
