Re: Carrying a Colt Defender ??

I see no problem with "cocked and locked" as that is how I carry my 1911's. Otherwise the time involved with making the weapon ready means you're out of the fight before you have a chance.

Food for thought...
* How many bird hunters do you know that walk the fields with shotguns that are NOT "cocked and locked"?
* How many deer hunters sit with a high powered rifle that is NOT "cocked and locked"?

My point is, carrying a concealed 1911 "cocked and locked" is no more dangerous than either of the above, yet somehow people quake at the sight of a 1911 with the hammer back. In fact, the grip safety provides an extra margin of safety that neither of the above situations have.

But of course, the best safety is between your ears :thumbs2:
