Condition 1 Carry?

Yep, I am a real Preacher of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Also a chaplain at a local county jail. And I do 'carry'... legally, of course... :P

Saying it once is great but, when you repeat yourself, you seem like you're preaching.[wink]

I at one time thought it was kinda' dangerous, but some experience and education showed me that it was my lack of understanding that was making me feel that way.

I always carry my 1911SC in condition 1. The hammer back on a loaded chamber is an excellent reminder for safe handling. :mrgreen: With the grip safety blocking the firing pin, thumb safety, and keeping the finger off the trigger, it won't go 'bang' until I say so. I also find it easier to accurately place my first shot with a cold gun from the holster when it's a 1911.

Not to belabor the point...

I was pretty concerned about C1 w/ my XD-40, I even posted here....
After carrying in C1 for the last 8 months w/ it and shooting IDPA matches using my IWB, I'm completely comfortable w/ all aspects. I even practice w/ my fanny pack holster. I really think that's the only way for me to be ok w/ it. I agree w/ gman, knowing it's ready to go forces me to respect it. It also takes one or more steps out of a defensive situatuon when time counts.

PS, Glad to see there is another follower on the board..... I'm jus tnot a pulpit type. :P

Thanks Mule.

I am getting used to the idea of C1 carry. I am trusting the huge safety on my CZ more now days. I carried it with out a round in the chamber and, lo and behold... it did NOT 'fire' by itself!!!!! :roll:

I guess C1 carry is growing on me. I guess it amounts to trust!
[I feel a sermon coming on but will refrain here [roll] .

My favorite carry is still my snubby, but I am getting used to the idea of C1... I will occasionally take the CZ on 'outings' as I grow more comfortable with it.

Thanks for great input, guys and gals......
