- Today viewers, the dynamic duo do a thing and test cocked & locked carry against other methods of carrying a 1911. How will end? Probably not well, but what's more important is the friends we made along the way.
In all seriousness, carry your 1911 cocked and locked.
In the Marine Corps, until we got the M9, the 1911 was routinely carried with a loaded magazine and hammer down on an empty chamber. I do remember carrying cocked and locked was the policy at an armory I worked at, but that was the exception. But that’s just my experience.
1940 US Army manual, page 19, called for loaded magazine and empty chamber. When in hostile circumstances, carry cocked and locked. The manual says do not carry with hammer down on live ammo.
That’s the first time I have ever seen anyone attempt to fan the hammer on a 1911! Wyatt Earp would be proud. Good stuff.
I'm dying 😂😂😂please do more of these!
Always enjoy watching you guys, but... duh, cocked and locked for 1911. If one is not willing to do that, they should stick to plastic euro guns
My grandfather served in ww2 and used the 1911/45. He said he always carried with the hammer cocked and locked...
The first sentence got my subscription. I've carried a cocked & locked gov't model 1911 in .45acp every day for almost 40 years and will carry one that way until they put my dead body in the ground. That's how I was taught to carry a fighting man's pistol. Have a blessed day. Take care.
Thanks fellas!
When I was in we shot one handed. The hammer was cocked on presentation. It wasn’t a primary weapon. When you knew something was up, our term was cocked and locked for pistols and locked and loaded for rifles. The hammer down wasn’t for speed obviously, it was to make the pistol like a SAA. You know safe. Ha! Anyway, Cocked and Locked is the safest method of carry and has been so for many decades. Fun video. Thanks
Stick to missiles! Spit my cola on the keyboard. LOL!!!
Cocked and locked, Ready to rock Doc!
My Israeli 2 cents. I carry Israeli style for civilian everyday carry, I rather have the peace of mind of not having a chambered round. In hot zone I might do cocked and locked for my secondary depends on the threat level. I find that the time difference between condition 1 and 3 does not justify the risk for me. I have timed 1.1 vs 1.3. But in combat you might not have your second hand available (or at all) and that is the decisive factor in my opinion. Thanks for the video guys.
Loaded chamber, hammer down? That is inviting an AD or ND. Hammer down on an empty chamber? - May as well be carrying a rock with you. I’ve carried 1911s in condition one - cocked and locked - for 20 years. It’s safe and effective. But Tupperware pistol aficionados need to practice disengaging the safety. You can rest assured that the only way I’ll carry my new Prime Elite is in Condition 1!
If you aren’t carrying a 1911 cocked and locked you definitely need to be carrying a different gun until you get more training!
I feel the same way about carrying a defensive shotgun without a round in the chamber.......All of my guns are always loaded, and my mags are also.
In the mid 1970s, we, USMC, carried empty chamber, hammer down and cooper wire/lead seal around the hammer, so none of us would chamber a round. If we did the cooper wire would be broken.
Haha, pretty funny 😂👍
Cooper's book shows how to do the "Israeli carry" (although I don't think it calls it that)..

The Israeli carry came about because. When the State of Israel was formed in 1948. They had all kinds of different types of handguns. They decided the simplest form of carry was to have every pistol carried with an empty chamber. Then charge the pistol as you pulled it from the holster.
