[QUOTE="Jim Parry, post: 3629650, member: 46894"] Cocked and locked is the preferred method. However, I will bet, if you read your manual, the manufacturer will state that you shouldnt leave one in the pipe until ready to fire. However, I believe it is a personal preference. As a former LEO, Ive always been trained that the only weapon that accidentally shoots someone is the “unloaded” weapon. Subsequently, we are always trained to keep one in the tube with whatever safeties on. However, as a FORMER LEO (emphasis on. The former part) with the knowledge that some bad actors have some grudges against me, but with a young grandson who idolizes me and is fascinated with my history, (What can I say, he is an awesome kid!! ). I find it best to carry my 1911 without one in the pipe. I figure my accuracy against the bas***ds who would do me and my family harm would provide enough time to rack a round into the pipe. This provides me with comfort in my decision with the of not having a live round in the pipe. [/QUOTE]
