Have just (today) purchased a new
Springfield loaded 1911.Though I own several other semi-auto's, this is my first 1911 type. Fired it on the range this morning & love it. However I need a little help. I don't fully understand the
options, if any, that I have with this pistol in the "round in the chamber" mode. My only previous experience with a 1911 was in the service where I carried it empty chamber.
Since I plan to use this to replace my Ruger P90 as my night stand home defense weapon what are the ramifications of lowering the hammer on the loaded chamber and cocking the gun as I raise it? I suppose thatI could get accustomed
to the cocked and locked butI don't feel comfortable with it yet. No longer have children at home.
