Not being personally familiar with a P-35, or HI-Power, is it safe to carry it with a round chambered and hammer down or not? What about on half-cock? Can the safety be engaged with the hammer in the down position? Or, should it be carried cocked & locked, like a M-1911?
I wonder if there are any plans for it to be produced in stainless steel?
No, the safety can only be engaged at full cock. In the military, these guns are usually carried empty chamber, hammer down. Outside the military, it's carried cocked and locked with loaded chamber.
