I am absolutely comfortable carrying a 1911 "cocked and locked." I won't carry one any other way.Mike from Texas wrote:I'm new to CC and I have a question. Do you guys feel 100% safe carrying condition 1? I know that's the only logical way to carry a 1911 and I told myself I'd be comfortable doing it, but now I'm beginning to get butterflies knowing that I have a loaded and cocked weapon with a 4-5# trigger on my hip all the time. I've gotten used to carrying my XD and am very comfortable with it. Does it get better with time?
I guess I'm just trying to reassure myself that I didn't make a almost $1k purchase of a gun that I'm not going to be comfortable carrying.
I can't say whether it will "get better with time," as I've never felt uncomfortable with having a "condition 1" gun on my hip.
