			I carry cocked and  locked, too.I know it  bothers some to see a  pistol carried cocked, but, that's a perception problem, not a real one. I  guess  I better  explain that. . .
 A  1911 has 2  safeties, the thumb safety and the grip safety. So, when you carry 'cocked and locked'  you have  2 safeties at work.
 Now, does it worry you to carry a Glock, or any other pistol  (striker fired) without a visible hammer?  I bet it  doesn't.
 Glocks, and many other concealed hammer autos, are basically cocked all the time. You  do have the safety on the trigger on a  Glock.
 So, carry a  Glock with one safety, or a 1911  with  2. .. .which one makes  you nervous? They're  both cocked. You just can't see it on the concealed hammer designs.
 I  don't mean to pick on Glocks- I use them for an example because  they're well known.
