Yup, you can own one in Washington State, but you cannot legally use it, not even at the range. So what's the point of owning it if you can't use it?

I would rather own a full-auto rifle than a suppresor. I had the pleasure of firing full auto (M4 and several versions of MP5) during one of my overseas vacations. It was a kick in the pants. And yes, there was a supressed glock there too. The trigger reset was actually louder than the actual bang.

Just wondering, why would it be recommended that you carry it that way? (Hammer back/safety on?)
I admit, I know squat about guns. Just a question...don't shoot....gha |

To simply answer your question, it's called condition "one". It's the prefered method of carry for the professional.

Cocked and locked, ready to rock. Just strange that you have a supressor in the picture and neither pistol has a threaded barrel. Just showin' off, maybe?

Can't think of a better combo, fine watches and fine guns.

I was a US Army MP. I was trained on the 1911 and carried one every shift for 4 years less some time in MPI when I carried a concealed .38.
At every duty station I was at we were not allowed to have a round in the chamber or the hammer cocked back. We had to have the weapon on safe. Hammer down. Therefore if I needed to fire my weapon (which of course would be under stress and duress) I needed to take the weapon off of safe, chamber a round, hope the grip safety worked properly and fire the weapon. Baaaaah. Love the Glock 17 I carry now. Point and shoot. Having said that, I am really offended by all this gun talk and actual pictures of weapons here. |

I got a new FN FiveSeven a couple of weeks ago. My camera is pretty lousy or I'd post a pic. I passed up a Colt civilian version National Match made in the 1950's about 20 years ago and have regretted it ever since. (At least I was smart enough to pick up a Colt Woodsman Match Target that day....)

I have one of the first 1000 G17's imported into the US... I'd post a pic but it might offend someone.........hehehehehe I trust the Glocks more than any other handgun...... but since I offended KansaiVet, I'm seriously thinking of selling all my handguns, my wife's datejust 18kt/ss, my GMT-II for a $100.00 and buying his and hers Casios.............hehehehe

Sorry if I started something here that sidetracked the thread. I just get offended by people who LOVE guns a little too much. They are a necessary evil IMHO.

Guns are bad! Why do some Rolex fans glorify an evil object?

I actually don't really like guns and hate having to go to the range every three months and having to qualify. All that means to me is that I am going to have to clean my weapon afterwards. Hate cleaning my weapon.
I have never understood my co-workers who love to go shoot even on thier days off. As far as the 1911 .45, it is carried that way in most police departments. The 1911 has a grip safety that allows it to be carried safely with a round in the chamber and the normal safety off. The Army just had strick post SOP which prohibited that. I am guessing that since 9-11 those policies have changed. The action reaction principle dictates that if I need to use deadly force and I have to jack a round and take my weapon off of safe I am probably dead already. That and not training to do it under stress and getting some serious muscle memory skills is going to diminish your survivability in a close quarter gun fight or with a crazed person up close armed with an edged weapon. Not having a round in the chamber and having your weapon on safe for an on duty urban police officer is sheer madness. |

Have you tried shooting oyster crackers off a bosrd with a .22 target pistol at 50 feet? That's fun, but none too easy.... Ever tried blasting a 2 liter cola bottle filled with water at 75-100 yards with a .44 Magnum? Want something that'll really get you hooked? Try Sporting Clays! Skeet and trap are almost as entertaining also. For some reason, enforcement types are fascinated with shooting at sillouette targets at 7 yards, 9 mm, .40, and .45 auto pistols. Best group I can generally get out of one of those things is 4-6" at 25 yards, whereas a fine magnum revolver or target pistol can do a ragged hole at the same range. Get an accurate gun and select some reactive target (such as bottles of water or a box of clay targets) and get on a range that is safe for "plinking", then place your targets at a range that they test the limits of man and machine. 5 clays at 50 yards are great. You start on the left, I start on the right, and whoever breaks the one in the center first "wins"! SSD and I shot recreationally all through college like this. When he decided to go into enforcement, his new buddies were ribbing him on his first trip to a "real range". They even had the gall to poke fun at his Colt Python! I think he shot a 97 his first time and he thought the whole process was a joke! The whole point of this rambling post is to convince you to try some shooting where the only "rules" relate to safe gun handling. You might be plesantly surprised at how much fun it can be to shoot for fun. If you're ever in the Chattanooga area, I'd be glad to arrange a demonstration! Rawhyde |

I don't. I love cleaning my guns (i'm an avid 1911 fan as well) as much as I love cleaning my watches.

Not to start one of those "here we go again" threads, but The condition one 1911 is in fact the prefered sidearm of many law enforcement agencies. The SWAT team I served on for one, not to mention the U.S. Marshall SOG teams and the FBI HRT teams. I trained with both and can surely state both those agencies are in fact issued that weapon. Over the years it's been my honor to train many of these guys. |

My only point was that if I was going to take a photo of my weapon it would not be loaded with the hammer back. The 1911 can be made safer if you lower the hammer. Local SOP's differ. Tacoma may be different.

I can safely say that with a grip safety, a 1911 with a round chambered and the hammer back is as safe as a loaded Glock or revolver. Now as far as cops and accidental discharge is concerned, I've seen and heard quite a few Glock stories. It's amazing how many will draw their sidearm with their finger already inside the trigger guard. If you have a gun on you, or nearby you, there is no reason why a bullet shouldn't be in the chamber. No matter WHAT type of pistol/revolver. |
