"Locked and Cocked" is not ok with Mike!

[Skinny Shooter]

Swift has the right idea.

I also carry my 1911 cocked and locked.
At first it seemed intimidating but it was designed that way.
I will probably never be a Vic and am defintely not an expert.
If violence is suddenly thrust upon me, there may not be time to do anything but seek cover as the safety is thumbed off as I draw.
Racking the slide to chamber a round while fending off an assailant in most situations would be impossible and may only get you hurt or worse.

I've carried a glock and a centurion. Didn't keep them for long and went back to a 1911 because its the most comfortable fitting handgun I've shot. Thanks Uncle John!
My Springy XD45 points almost as naturally as a 1911 and do not hesitate to carry it.

Adam, has Mike gotten himself a revolver or another 1911?
