How do you keep your HP's, or 1911's, for home protection, what I mean here is in what condition?

I used to keep my Colt MkIV S70 in condition 1, in a cheap IWB holster attached to the bed frame. My hand could grasp it easily and it was ready to go.

With the addition of wife and family I switched to DA revolvers for ease of training and potential multiple users.

Lately, with the family getting much more "trigger time" and that CDNN is selling HP's for $399, I've been contemplating going back to SA semi's and was a little concerned with the effects on the spring of being cocked, in the long term.

Take care and have a nice Thanksgiving,
