1911 condition 2 carry?
Hi all, Just wondering if anybody carry thier series 80 1911 in condition 2?
Just Purchased a lightweight Para LTC covert for saummer carry but am not comfy with condition 1, yes i did tried carrying around the gun for 3 days in condition 1 and no the gun did not fire and no the safety did not come off but still not comfy with condsition 1 (i'm open to flaming) , so any body carry in C-2 and how quick did you get in getting the gun on target chamber loaded as opposed to C-!?
Thanks nyman

The US Cavalry rode on horseback with their 1911's in Condition 1. I think if they can ride at full gallop on a horse with it C&L, it is safe. In fact, I could not think of a better advertisement for a safe gun.
C2 is asking for trouble....no other way of saying it. Condition 1 or Condition 3; never Condition 2.

can't say that I do
you'll be comfortable dropping the hammer on a loaded chamber, but not putting on the safety and leaving it be?

You should get some quality formal training.

If you're uncomfortable carrying condition 1, buy a different gun.
I'll give ya $500 for the Para. That's enough for you to buy a Glock ;-)Complete equality isn't compatible with democracy, but it is agreeable to totalitarianism. After all the only way to ensure the equality of the slothful, the inept and the immoral is to suppress everyone else. - Iain Benson

Skullz i have 3 Glocks, 26,32,17, but they just dont like the way they point and they always shoot high unlike my 1911's and Sigs, . JUst to think that there is a 200 grn Gold Dot sitting under that cocked hammer!
I guess if C1 is safe enough for soldiers on horse back, its safe enough, i guess i'll give it a shot (no pun intended)

Yes it does. My instructor was shooting a kimber as was I. He explained why he carried in condiction one. He told me that will be part of the training I will be taking in the future. In one of the classes I had one of the guys had some trouble. He had to unlearn what he was taught as ways to do things in the military.

1 or 3. Not 2.
I'm not sure why people think cocked and locked is unsafe. That is how the gun was designed. Personally I think it is less safe droping the hammer on a loaded round and riding with the hammer down than just racking slide and locking the gun.
