You missed my point entirely.And his excerpt was remember for instant use, not normal duty carry. Are you guys planning on instantly using your guns? And it was not my point it was the US Armies point.
Even the military said so. Why they don't do that all the time, as I said before, generally speaking, the pistol is not considered a primary weapon. It is usually secondary. Those who have them in combat zones typically also have other, bigger weapons. And I'll bet if you check with some other department that uses the 1911, I'll bet you find out that those who carry it, carry in condition 1.the pistol may be carried safely at full cock, and it is only necessary to press down the safety lock
When I did, many moons ago, I carried it in condition 1, as a part time LEO and full time security officer. None of my bosses even blinked an eye lid. I still do, both on duty, as a security officer, and off duty, as a licensed citizen.
And yes, if I need to use my pistol, I intend to use it "instantly."
