Just want you to be safe my friend! I will be blunt with you because someone was blunt with me when I first started shooting 1911's. Watch some videos of 1911 operation before going to the range and then sit down with someone who has experience with the 1911 and run some drills. I say that simply based on the question you asked. To give you the correct answer, you have to slowly and carefully let the hammer down because there is not a decocker. Slowly and carefully are the watch words, for if you let the hammer slip, the side arm will fire and you will have a bad day.

Once you get to know your 1911, you will never want to be without it again, for it (and to get some blood aroused on this site) is one of the best combat pistols ever designed.
