I have a 1991 vintage Browning HP. It has the inertia firing pin and there was no firing pin / hammer block on this model. I have always heard that this gun is very similar to the 1911, and it should be carried "Cocked & Locked". The thought of this scares the hell out of me to be honest.
Although many say not to carry it with one in the pipe with the hammer down, i have always felt that this approach seemed safer, (presuming the gun never got dropped which it never has) than having a cocked gun on my hip with one in the pipe. What do the rest of you who have a BHP, 1911 or similar type gun have to say?
