I keep my 1911 cocked and locked. If I want the hammer down, then I'll eject the mag, empty the chamber and drop the hammer. Do I know how to ride my hammer down over a live round comfortably? Yes. It's something I know and can do just because I like to know how to handle various scenarios. But it's not my first option of choice, naturally.
