Per a debate in another thread, gathering a consensus. Since we are limited in characters in the poll options, I will elaborate.
Option 1 would disqualify any DAO, TDA with decocker safety or striker fired gun from being considered "condition 1" ever, regardless of whether it has a round in the chamber or safeties present, engaged or disengaged. This means that only SA or DA guns with a manual safety that engage with the hammer cocked can be "condition one".
For option 2; "not requiring manual cocking to fire" means that the gun is one of the following:
Double action only, with or without safety, engaged or disengaged
Traditional Double Action with hammer down, safety engaged or disengaged
Traditional Double Action with hammer cocked and safety engaged
Striker fired DA type with or without safety, engaged or disengaged
Striker fired SA type with safety engaged
Single Action that is cocked & locked
In other words, no need to thumb the hammer before firing because it is either not required or it is already cocked. Option 2 includes DA revolvers as well.
