I hope I am wrong, but is this hammer cocked?

[SSGSAD]

If you read it on the interwebby thingy it mus be true, "bon jor"?

YES, it must be !!!!!

 

[HoughMade]

No. But school me.

Well, first of all, they explode:

And even fully trained professionals have trouble keeping themselves safe around them:

Touche'

Please forgive me as I have delved into a kettle of the very proficient in regards to frames/actions/accessories and the resultant proper way to handle/carry.

I will give myself some credit for learning a few things here today.

Still liking the G's, and thinking that the environment that I exist in doesn't require old west gun fighter skills of draw and shoot, thus the empty chamber carry on my behalf. When it does, I'm moving out.

What makes a hammer cocked firearm with a manual safety on more dangerous than a cocked (partially/mostly/whatever) striker fired gun with no manual safety?

Quick follow up; DON'T like the grenade aspect

Again, knowledge gained.

Not sure if you are serious, but I wasn't. Glocks have a bit of a history with malfunctions/explosions, but so do other firearms. Guns, by definition, work with controlled explosions. If something goes wrong, you end up with one looking like the picture above. More often than not, a major malfunction like that will be from user error and/or bad ammo. It can happen to any brand.

Glocks exploding is one of those brand jokes, like Ford vs. Chevy, Glock vs. 1911, 9mm vs. 45, etc.

What's wrong with Condition 0?

Whoever came up with these ridiculously rote "conditions" is probably the sort of guy that likes using color codes for situations and thinks "all guns are always loaded" is a good rule.

Learning is why most of us are here.

Old west huh? Here shortly, there will be plenty of individuals posting videos of where victims would have no time to draw a firearm, rack the slide, and defend themselves successfully. I seriously urge you to reconsider your logic and carry habits. You can start here:

Everyone that posted that the pistol is a 1911 is wrong. I had to watch it several times, but it looks like a full size HK USP to me.
Having owned a couple USP's in the past, that is exactly what is being carried at the very beginning of the video.

Note, there is no grip safety, that should be the first give away that it is not a 1911.
Just my .02 FWIW.

Not the handgun in the beginning, but later on in the video. See post #8 for a pic. Definitely has a grip safety.

Please let me be the first.

I know the "employee", he is actually the owner. What I heard from the family is that he turned to get his gun from a shelf, thus the shot in the back. Not sure that's facts, only what I was led to believe.

Points being; Bad environment, they have been there for years, and, defense not at the ready.

Learning is why most of us are here.

Got it. Easy mistake to make, since the first thing you see when the video starts is a holstered pistol with the hammer cocked.

You are referring to the first still image, not the gun shown in the actual video.

[edit]Oops...didn't mean to pile on

 

[Bigtanker]

Well, the latter can lead to the former.

But we digress....

I'm still aiming for 50 quality ones. Thanks for reminding me.

What's wrong with Condition 0?

Off topic, but please define the conditions.... I was under the impression it was equivalent of the actions needed to fire, so condition 1 would mean just pull the trigger. Condition 2 would be click the saftey, pull the trigger.

Now I am insulted.

I saw something that I did not understand and have the stones to stand up and say teach me. I have learned here today, even at my grouchy old age.

And you??
