The thing you have to remember about Chippy is that although he was a traffic cop for a while, he was mainly a lawyer.

He is showing everyone that he is tone death and turns people off. The results are the opposite of what he claims he wants but he double downs. He is definitely getting his well earned results

I will say that I agree 100% with Waders on his post and will ask a simple question of Chippy. IF new owners of 1911's will not/did not take the time to read and understand the owners manual why in heavens name do you feel they will take time to Google the innerweb to find your "expert" post?

The informing of the uninformed about the dangers of carrying a loaded 1911 on half-cock. But, as I recall from comments you made elsewhere, you have no interest in doing that, as you do not see it as your responsibility. A normal human would simply post a thread titled “PSA. It isn’t considered a safe practice to carry a 1911 loaded with the hammer at half cock.”

While there are certainly a few new 1911 owners who are mentally ill-equipped to look out for themselves, your assumption that I “feel” they will take the time to seek out this thread is mistaken. You need to re-read what I’ve actually said.

There may be members reading this thread who are willing to pass the word to help some uninformed 1911 users avoid unintended discharges. Either carry a 1911 or a Browning Hi Power with an empty chamber OR with a round in the chamber and the safety engaged and keep your booger hook of off the trigger. The half cock notch on the hammer is for catching the hammer if it follows the slide ONLY. It is NOT a safety position. Here is the reason for this thread. Several commenters appear to have missed it. But, at least one member understood it.

Wow, it seemed way more likely that self-aggrandizing douchebaggery was the reason. Quite a relief to learn otherwise.

“sir [ ] … on april 7th 2021 i purchased a [ ] 1911 45 cal. pistol from a firearms dealer in [ ] ... after which I loaded a round in the chamber while in my vehicle lowered the hammer and pulled it back to the half cock position, i then inserted the magizine and put the sidearm in the holster that i usually carry it in while in the vehicle, bringing it across my lap to put it away in the center console the firearm went off hitting my right leg.”
This sorta thing just keeps on happening because some users are not getting the word.
Sheesh. I learned (without shooting myself) 50 years that half-cock isn't safe, so did everyone else here (give or take a decade). These posts belong on the "Pistols for Dummies" forum. Make sure you include that if you put your finger inside the trigger guard when you holster your Glock. M&P, etc. you will shoot yourself. I recall a lot of stories in the news about LEO's doing that a few years back.

The only thing that comes close is his ability, as noted here : " if only there were such a forum which Dummies would actually read." To insult everybody on the forum. Unbelievable. It is no wonder he chose to get out of LE (or had it chosen for him). I can't imagine he would last long today running his mouth like that.
