If I'm carrying one of my 1911s while hiking or hunting, I carry with a full magazine nothing in the chamber (condition 3). If anything gets my hackles up, I rack the slide and carry locked and cocked with safety on (condition 1). If I'm carrying in town, or on the road or for any reason the concern walks on two legs I always carry cocked and locked (condition 1), same for the gun by my bed ...


Regards,

Chuck
