Why would one be lowering the hammer on a 1911 with a round chambered?

That's how I carry mine.[/quote]

Same question, why? It seems to me carrying the 1911 hammer down is doing it the hard way. Not only do you risk an AD lowering the hammer, it's also slower to get into the fight if you ever need the gun. If you happen to drop the gun on the hammer, it's possible, though I admit unlikely, to cause an AD. If you really feel uncomfortable carrying the 1911 C&L, perhaps you should consider a DA handgun.
