If I'm holstering, it will have the safety on. Once in the holster, the safety comes off. If I draw it from the holster for any reason other than to shoot it, the safety goes on first.
"Condition" 4, isn't that "california" carry ?????
No, in the heat of the moment, you will fight like you train. Muscle memory is everything. Look, as much as I'd like to convince you that you're being a danger to yourself, your mind is made up. So, you go ahead and carry condition 0. I wish you nothing but the best in the future.
one more thing, take a look at this poll and consider why so many 1911 guys believe in condition one.
What "condition" do you carry your 1911 in? - The Firing Line Forums
I think I see why your monicer is "Classic Liberal" bc nothing you are saying makes any damn sense to me.
Far be it from me to question your belief systems but dear lord man your putting yourself and others in danger of being the victim of an ND.
I hope it doesnt come to that for you to see why cocked and locked is advised.
Show me an example of this, please. The ND.
Here you go.

Both of these examples are with Glocks ("safe action" pistols you know ) but the principle is the same.
Unlocked + finger on the trigger =
Mind you I carry a Sig most of the time that does not have any external safety but the long double action is more than enough on it. With a 1911 its different bc its SAO with an extremely light and short (atleast in the case of both my 1911s) trigger pull. In a SD senario fine motor function is out the window do to the adrenaline dump and you will more than likely not beable to control the amount of pressure you put on the trigger or even keep you finger off the trigger until your totally on target causing an ND.
Hopefully, for your sake you ND into the BG otherwise your SOL.
But neither of those cases can happen by carrying in condition 0, if one follows the 4 rules of firearm safety. Both of those were due to not following them.
It is due to negligence, not the condition of carry.

Actually the top video was a case of muscle memory and training.
If you saw this he wasn't CCing.So we're strolling around a grocery store tonight, and saw a man CC'ing, which wasn't unusual, until I looked closer.
He was carrying a 1911 .45, and I could have swore the hammer was back on the gun.
i love yankee marshall but i have never seen that one before. Hilarious!Thanks for opening the door...

Well, considering that's how they are designed to be carried...
And gals, too...I agree with Null Synd.
I carry that way and would bet that most 1911
guys do as well !
Just go get a Para LDA ...or even a GLOCK for crying out loud.If I'm holstering, it will have the safety on. Once in the holster, the safety comes off. If I draw it from the holster for any reason other than to shoot it, the safety goes on first.
