It seems that carrying a 1911 with a round in the chamber and hammer down was not uncommon in combat...dangerous or not.
That doesn't make it right, obviously, but I would say that this practice is probably used more than is admitted.
Would a Browning HP's hammer strike the firing pin/primer hard enough to fire a round in the chamber from the half-cock postion, dropping under its 'own steam'? I wonder...
