Conditions

The pistol is designed to be carried in any way that you choose.

Yes. The original captive half-cock is a safety. Says so right there in the 1910 patents, along with instruction on lowering the hammer to that position with one hand.

No, it wasn't designed specifically to be continuously maintained in Condition One, nor was it the intent of JMB or anybody else.
