Lowering the hammer on a 1911 is no different than lowering the hammer on a Winchester 94.
Except that the M94 will be handled by both hands to keep it firmly and safely in control and pointed in a safe direction. Most people that I have observed lowering the hammer on a handgun do that with only one hand, the hand gripping the gun. Lowering a 1911 hammer is an awkward manipulation and done one handed might lead to fumbling by a user not thoroughly familiar with the weapon.
