I prefer to place my thumb under the hammer, rolling it out of the way as the other thumb controls the hammer. The original "Thumb Safety". cool
How others choose to do it I have no idea.


I lower the hammer on a 1911 by pinching the hammer between thumb and 1st finger of left hand and controlling it to fully lowered that way. Easy procedure once you get used to it. I found 1911s very awkward to uncock with just the right thumb.
