Never cared much for cornbread except in pinto beans.

It is not hard to decock the origional military 1911 one-handed.

The vast majority of combat vets I know carried their 1911 in condition 2 when in combat.

You are correct. It is a myth that JMB designed the 1911 with cocked and locked carry in mind for full time everyday carry yet almost every time condition 2 is brought up the 1911 "experts" chime in claiming God and JMB intended the 1911 to be carried condition one. I know many combat vets...

The sear does move back and drop but because of the angle of the sear and the angle of the striker tab the trigger pull does not pull the striker any additional distance to the rear. The striker remains fully cocked untill you pull the trigger so it is single action.

I feel the Glock has the Sig beat for the exact same reasons 355sigfan wrote.

But is is nice to know that IF you ever find yourself in a bad way where you may have to rely on your carry gun in bad conditions that your guns basic design is proven to run well in such conditions. I believe that ???? can happen and you had best be prepared. If your carry gun requires a...

SA calls the XD an "ultra assured safety system" and when they first started importing the gun they called it a DAO in their ads. Just recently a major gun mag did a test of the XD and called it DAO. Their well known and "respected" gun writer just repeated SA's BS because he was too ignorant to...

I would believe the military tests and think they have more basis in reality than the tests done by an indoor range "expert" that has never had the gun out in the real world.

Once again no one can explain how a gun that is carried with the striker fully cocked is considered a DA. The action of the sear and how it moves does not prove the Steyr is DA. SA and DA involves the action of the hammer or striker and has nothing to do with the action of the sear and the...

I know a rancher who carries a 1911 with him every day. He works with it on. He uses it to shoot snakes and other varmits. He sees no need to carry it cocked and locked and in reality he has no need to do so. He carries it condition two.

I am sure many people own handguns that they use for other things besides self defense.

Do you own a Steyr?n Have you fired one? Have you completly detail striped one? Have you studied the design or you just repeating the BS others that know nothing about the gun have written on this thread?

You can't "disagree" about facts. You can have an opinion about if you "like" something or not and agree or disagree if you think a pistol "feels" right or if is "pretty" or not. I guess someone could have the opinion that a 1911 is DAO but the facts don't back up your opinion. You can't...

If it had been in condition 2 it would not have fired so we at least have one example of the need for condition 2.

That is one of the reasons there is a half cock notch. If screw up cocking the hammer it will not fire because the half cock notch stops the fall of the hammer. Unless you are stupid enough to cock it with your finger on the trigger.

I am not telling anyone to carry condition 2. I have never said it offers any advantage in any way. I just would like to know why you assume it is "dangerous" to carry the gun in condition 2.

The striker is held to the rear by the sear. The striker MAY be pulled an additional one mm to the rear when the trigger is pulled on the early guns without the update. If you assume one mm of additional movement of an already more or less fully cocked striker makes it DA then you can call it...

A few of you keep saying this but you have no facts to make the claim that condition 2 carry is somehow dangerous. If you know how the 1911 works then you have to know that the 1911 can not have an AD with the hammer down so please tell us how it is dangerous to carry condition 2. You can...

Then you have a forum full of people that don't know ???? about their guns.
