I own a couple of 1911s, I carried one 38 years ago in the military, but I got a question. Why in most photos, are they shown obviously cocked with the hammer back? I remember the story of the old Texas Ranger that was asked if him carrying one like that was dangerous and his reply was "hell yeah, I wouldnt carry the SOB like that if it wasnt." it may be a dumb question or observation but it seems to be pretty common in most photo posts. Is there a reason for this? Even in the military we carried them without a round in the chamber til we got in the field.
