I carry a 1911 full sized daily. I carry it "cocked & Locked", a condition that i have been comfortable with all along. On another forum there is a fellow, you know the type, who says he was in the military for 4 years, and was a cop for about 20 years and an instructor for 10..... He claims that carrying a 1911 cocked and locked is dangerous and they should never be carried in such a manner. He says if your going to carry one they should be carried with nothing in the pipe. Of course he also claims that if he can't stop em with a 9mm that you ain't going to stop em with a 45.
Now, what i would like to know is, is there any truth in his claim about the cocked & locked. Putting all preferences aside, do you know of any stats that show cocked & locked to be dangerous. And i am not talking about the occasional moron who walks around with a weapon in terrible condition with a broken safety and starts yanking on the trigger as he is pulling from the holster... that type is dangerous with a water gun...so far i have never seen any stats that would support that claim, if there are i would sure like to see them...
