Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Loaded Chamber on a 1911 Pistol?

Talk about spin, …

I suppose all that now becomes your “facts,” for you to repeat over and over again until even you believe it.

So Exchipy is claiming to be so highly placed upon Armscor's board that he chooses their corporate lawyer?
This guy?

Steve Anderson, SVP Claims?

Sheesh!!!!!

After reading the exchanges on this board, this knowledge does nothing to encourage my purchase of an Armscor pistol.

Were I his superior in any corporation, he would either separate himself from the keyboard.....or my company.

I’m guessing this means I won’t be invited to your house for Thanksgiving this year. And, I was so looking forward to it, too.

Then it’s probably a good thing I don’t work for you, eh?

Sad to see EEs comments. No the content. Just that he's gone.

To my mind a bigger risk with condition two is getting the gun into condition two. You’ve loaded the chamber and need to lower that cocked hammer. Loosing control while trying to lower it you’re still depressing the grip safety and likely still pulling the trigger because you’re concentrating on holding the hammer back and very firmly gripping the gun. Holding the trigger back would be a natural thing unless you’re very conscious of it. Condition one is the best method for me. I know the Israelis trained for years to use condition three and there’s no question they were very good with it. The idea of being in a contact distance situation and needing both hands to get my gun into action doesn’t appeal to me very much.

Agreed on all points.

Just a hair over 60, and am guilty of carrying a 1911 from time to time, and sometimes over long stretches of time. Been the case since I was 19. But I carry all sorts of handguns.

I'll be sixty this June, I carry a SPS 101, when I'm only wearing a T shirt, 1911 when I'm wearing a shirt over the T shirt.

I'd be willing to bet more accidental deaths have happened from glocks and incompetence in the last 40 year than the 1911 in the last 100.

Yep ^^^^

If you ain’t responsible enough to carry a cocked and locked 1911, ya probably shouldn’t carry anything.

I believe youse guys gotta point, there. The 1911 is a very safe and sound design for well informed and safety conscious users. But, the ignorant and careless can too often find a way to defeat its safety features, then negligently cause personal injury and property damage. Not lately, though. Maybe they take the holidays off.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Not many accidental deaths can happen with 1911 wrapped in a cloth and stored in a drawer.

“Well informed and safety conscience users”

Our lives would be very different if society did not require us to design everything to the lowest common denominator .
