Thats how I did it when I had a gun with an external hammer...

I usually put hammer down when I take picture, but it maybe more of a preference (up or down).

Well, as long as you aren't pointing it at me...

Awesome! IT LIVES....

Hey, if they are pointing it at you, can you tell if the hammer is down?

Is that like, "If a tree falls in the forest"?

That's just how I roll.

A 1911 that is not in condition 1 (cocked and locked) is just a fancy rock.

Per Jeff Cooper:

Condition Four: Chamber empty, no magazine, hammer down.
Condition Three: Chamber empty, full magazine in place, hammer down.
Condition Two: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer down.
Condition One: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety on.
Condition Zero: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety off.
