If you don't like condition 1, don't carry a 1911.

Is that advice or are you telling how to carry his firearm.

there's never a reason to drop a hammer on a loaded chamber unless you intent to fire the gun. Rule number three of Coopers safe gun handling

CZ disagree instructions in their manual below. They are happy for you to lower the hammer unto a loaded chamber. It surprises me when I see people advising someone with limited experience with handguns to carry it with a round in the chamber.

Besides the method previously described it is possible to put the pistol into a safety
mode and still be ready to fire immediately:
Load the pistol. Grasp the grip, POINT IN A SAFE DIRECTION. With a thumb press on
the grooved area (thumb piece) of the hammer, pull the trigger and release the hammer.
slowly forward (Fig. 6) until it rests on the action or safety notch of the hammer. Release the
trigger. Practise this operation very carefully to avoid an accidental discharge! We strongly
recommend to practise this operation beforehand with the pistol unloaded!
