I like to leave my 1911 pistol in condition two - chambered round, hammer down.
Once while switching ammo, hammer slipped off my thumb on the way down. Boom - in the house, pointed safely though. Round went through hollow door, through one baseboard, one sheetrock, another sheetrock, another baseboard and wound up in my hallway. Obviously scared the hell out of me and caused a lot second guesses from my girlfriend and the dog too. Everytime my dog sees that gun, he gives me this slow look, like "oh not again", and slinks off.
I have a completly different method for deckocking that is fool-proof but a little painful. Involves the web of my left hand.
If you handle enough weapons enough times, a mistake will likely happen in your lifetime. I know responsible people with holes in their garage ceilings.
ArtP, that's exactly why condition 2 isn't recommended for 1911 style guns.
