I am thinking of getting a 1911. It will be my first one. I have no plans on carrying it but I am thinking of getting one with an accesory rail for a light mount. I would most likely keep this bedisde since my EDC is downstairs in my safe.
I do know people do not recommend clearing your house with a lighted hand gun if you suspect any trouble. But this is my preference. I have no kids, so if I hear someone and it is not my wife or dog that sleep in the same room as me, I will be picking up the 1911.
With that said: I was curious for bedside 1911 owners.
1. Do you keep it in ready one condition ( cocked with safety on)?
2. Do you ever keep it with a round in the chamber and the hammer released?
3. If you keep it cocked with the safety on...how often do you clear the gun and realease the hammer to take tension off the spring?
Thanks
