@45Supergun Your comments are like that of a scared sheeple...if you are afraid of condition 0, you probably shouldn't even carry at all. If everyone follows the 4 rules of firearm safety, they shouldn't have to worry about what you worry about. Your courtroom comment is laughable :) I don't understand how someone can be injured by my holstered handgun in condition 0??? Glock's manual is dumb, like as if LEO somehow know how to better handle a firearm than a civilian...yea, right haha.
@atfconsumer All the people on here fail to give convincing arguments as to why you shouldn't carry condition zero. They just say "It's not safe" and fail to explain it.
@onefstsnake Never, ever, EVER carry a firearm in condition zero. That’s absolutely idiotic. Uh, there’s this thing, called a court room, ever heard of it, stupid? You may just survive your encounter, and maybe you’re not prosecuted by the state, but that doesn’t free you from being sued civilly for wrongful death or excessive use of force and when witnesses (your buddies, under oath) testify that you carried your gun around with the safety off—oh Suzanna.
I have a Beretta M9, I have tried to find stories on failures with condition zero, but they just don't exist. The trigger is no more sensitive than the Glock trigger.
@atfconsumer do you have a 1911? When the hammer is back the trigger is extremely sensitive,doesn't take much at all to set it off once the hammer is back.
@FabioCrow07770 No, I don't, but the only thing I know that can set it off is the pull of the trigger. If you keep your handgun in its holster until ready to use, there will not be any problems. I have tested 1911's at the range, knocking them around while in condition 0 and could not result in a failure.
Show me one article or story where a ND or AD occurred while carrying in condition 0 ???
I wouldn't recommend carrying at what you call condition zero, although most 1911's have a beaver tail safety. I prefer condition one. I see no problem with the hammer cocked and a round in the chamber and the safety up, even if the safety some how drops down, you still have the beaver tail safety, and must somehow press the trigger at the same time. Very unlikely to happen, even if it were to drop. But that's me.
@Cds56 Yep, too many are scared of the gun, if carried in it's holster, it's not going to go bang...just not going to happen. FabioCrow07770 says it's not a very safe thing to do at all and doesn't recommend it, but fails to prove why he thinks that way...just scares him, I guess.
Nearly all 1911's have some sort of trigger safety that keeps the firing pin from moving forward, until the trigger is depressed to disengage the firing pin block. If your finger isn't on the trigger, there truly isn't any more risk of carrying a 1911 in condition zero than a Glock with one in the chamber.
honestly i have a 1911 condition 1 and dont grip your gun in the form of shooting and you will be fine the gun has a triple action safety system how can you fuck that up?????
and glocks r for sissys with small hands 1911 mans gun :)
@RunThemAll Congratulations on leaving the single most retarded Comment so far this 2010. Still a few months left of 2010 but you have a pretty good chance of winning the most retarded comment of 2010 so...good luck,man =)
@FabioCrow07770 condition three and 2 are for ahem, pussies. If I was into plastic pistols I would rock a glock or M&P. I prefer metal so I carry my sig 229 or my TRP. both are great pistols the sig has a higher round count but I like the 1911 trigger better.
@RunThemAll The 1911 manual safety can be deactivated by taking a normal grip on the handgun. With training this comes easy, and if you ask me is worth it for the 1911 trigger pull. Single action triggers are the best that you could possibly get.
Anyway, if you really don't like that manual safety you can just not use it. That goes for any gun. It's not recommended, however. In fact, lots of people don't like Glocks because they don't have them.
i carry cocked and locked but other than that if there is no round in the chamber it is pointless to have the hammer down, there isnt a round there for the hammer to drop on, and with it down its a little harder to pull the slide, just sayin.
@lobzdik Cannot engage safety while hammer is half cocked- another way to prevent accidentally having a safety on when you really need the 1911 to go "bang".
Do you have some brand, or custom mod that is different?
@1027sterling nope, I actually cannot own a 45 acp as I live in australia... just figured you could carry a normal 1911 that way... so can you just carry it half cocked and safety off? still, cocked, loaded and on safety seems like the way to carry a 1911 right?
@lobzdik Yes, you can carry it half cocked and safety off because the trigger is single action. I always carry mine Israeli Draw (condition 3). This gives a very high degree of safety, yet is very fast to bring to ready. There is actually very little difference in the time it takes to rack the slide versus operating a thumb safety lever.
NO! Absolutely NOT, half-cock is NOT a safe condition to carry, it is not one of the carry conditions. Read the owner's manual for an explanation why. Ignore that asshole 1027sterling he is ignorant.
if i had a 1911, i would carry it in condition 1 because that seems like the best way to carry the 1911 bein that the gun is ready to fire with only the mere flick of the safety and also that it is a S/A pistol...but thats my personal preference cuz i carry all my guns with 1 in the chamber and i like my guns in a "ready to fire" configuration...but i do admit a cocked hammer doesnt sit well with me. Great vid Fabio....keep em comin brotha
cocked and locked is how you are supposed to carry a 1911... if you carry it loaded with the hanner dropped then you are asking to be killed in a self defense situation.

Kill yourself round boy and stop swallowing so much cum it's spilling out through your poors bitch!
Impressed you know condition 0- most don't- So how is condition 0 in a 1911 with a firing pin safety unsafe?? It Is virtually no different than the way 10 million Glocks operate
Duh- That is the point- A Glock with a round in the chamber needs only a trigger pull, which disengages the stirrup ( trigger safety ) That is, for a practical comparison to a 1911 - condition zero. That the striker is not full cocked makes no difference. If you pull the trigger on a Glock it will go bang. A zero condition 1911is no different except you must also depress the grip safety and pull the trigger. Grip the gun- pull trigger it goes bang
Do you suggest carrying in -condition zero? I think that as long as you don't point it at someone and pull the trigger it is safe. I think that condition 1 and down take more motor control which isn't reliable under stress. I use to practice wiping the safety all day with my BHP, but I would rather carry in condition zero.
If you ever became a gun fighter it wouldn't matter what condition you carried in because you'd get wasted before you even cleared your holster. You don't even carry one in the chamber of your smegma.
Denied- My point was that under stress to make a stock Glock fire or a stock 1911 in cond 0 fire, you pull a long 6 lb 2 stage (feel) trigger on the Glock & 6 lb SA short pull on 1911. I would never suggest carrying a handgun that is capable of being placed "on safe" - be carried in condition "0". For personal safety, the safety of those around you and most importantly liability.You want your buds to testify to a DA-"He never uses the safety!"Fight like you train-Train like you fight
Carry condition 1is safer and sometimes with holsters there is a wide enough opening for something to get in the trigger guard even though it is completely in the holster, teach yourself to swipe the safety as you get a sight picture on the target, muscle memory and training is the key, train as you will fight, if you want condition 0 carry as described here, don't use a 1911, try Glock or Sig, something with a heavy first pull or heavier constant pull like the striker fired "DAO-like" Glock.
Dropping the slide on a 1911 should be avoided, although it will not cause damage occasionally. The main reason not allow the slide to smack into battery is potential damage to the sear, disconnector and hammer hook surfaces that will not be disconnected if the trigger is not held to the rear as it would be when firing. As for dry firing- I have dry fired hundreds of 1911s thousands of times in practice- it does them no harm
You haven't a clue as to what you're talking about. Exactly HOW does dry-firing damage the firing pin? Also, can explain why, after more than ten years, my 1911's firing pin has not been damaged? I dry-fire aleast twice once every day?
It is "theorized" that you "could" damage the firing pin, although i dry fire mine all the time in practice, never had a problem and don't actually foresee one.
Actually you can. The bullet actually works as kind of a shock absorber so the slide dont slam forward so hard. Dropping the slide on and empty chamber inreases unnecessary wear and can cause premature failure of internal parts.
But that effect is negligible really. Never heard of that. At least for functioning tests it will not hurt the gun if you don't overdo it.
Also we are speaking of tempered steel here. I have several pistols made out of zinc alloy and it doesn't hurt them too.
If you are shooting your gun, it has to resist far more force than these few times of functioning tests you do which has an laughable effect on the gun compared to the shooting.
Also the internal parts have to resist far more shock during live firing. The manual cocking of the slide without a round in the chamber does not even come close to those forces.
yeah, i use to leave wood grips on guns. the rubber of the hogue really absorbs the recoil; i can sincerely say they allow me to fire faster and more accurately. kind of like how i use to roll with the traditional sks stock. when i bought a folder ati pistol grip stock, it improved the accuacy and decreased the muzzle climb during recoil (due to the slant in the wood sks stock design).
so what do you think of the charles daily? version compared to any other brand vs- for the 1911? is any 1911 honestly almost the same? I have 12 gauge charles daily that shoot just as good as the remington's around here. You know. thanks alot-
And we'd make the most awesome team. We'd be the safest gun owners in the world xD
Toober, you don't have to be so jealous all the time. Take a day off of checking Fabio's videos relentlessly for new comments to reply to, and hang out with a friend for once.
Lol. Gay isn't bad, but clearly professing your undying affection for Fabiocrow, Mr.Toober, is simply pointless, as he does not return such feelings, for he favors women.
Yes, he is the safest guy in the world. He even has the Toober rating of approval =)
Fabio's the safest guy in the world with guns. He's awesome. And he choose a kickass username for Youtube, rather than the alternative "MrToober", being that Mr.Toober as a username is as gay as they come, sadly.
Safest guy in the world huh? Did you see his video of him shooting his S&W9 Semi Auto? When he's done shooting, he looks down the barrel of his still loaded pistol. Yessiree, that's real safe alright. Fuck, you and he would make a great team. Ha ha.
I carry mine in position 3. i takes now time to cock and load and fire a !911, trust me on thi. Also a friend of mine just shot himself using position 0. He is ok but he does not prefer 0 anymore. Cool gun...
Well You could slip and the gun could go off,there is always that possibility. I suggest If Your indoors And your going to put the hammer down,clear the chamber first. better safe than sorry.
wtv coindition its in i think hes trying to show different ways and right ways to carry cause depending on the gun some safetys click on real fast and besides it doesnt take much to cock the slide real fast
Yes it does. It takes two hands. That's a big difference. 1911's should be carried condition 2 because the thumb safeties disengage way to easy when upholstering. Condition 2 allows you to quickly fire with one hand.
Condition 1 is faster AND safer. If you carry condition 2 and you keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard when cocking the hammer with your thumb, note- you will only have three weak little fingers on the gun.
So what do you do if you don't shoot? You now have a 1911 in condition zero, with the thumb safety that you never use -not on.OK -lower the hammer 1 handed as well -right? Under stress, eventually that well oiled hammer is going to slip from under your thumb, fire, and split your thumb open when it recoils.
Condition 1 is the way to go. Hammer cocked with the safety on. It's safe and in a ready condition to engage targets. Condition "0" is absolutely and completely insane. Condition 2 is not safe from what I understand.
The problem with condition 2 is if your thumb slips when cocking the hammer, there's the risk that it can drop and strike the firing pin, causing an ND, particularly if the hammer is not caught at half-cock.
A Series 80 or similar has a firing pin block that is disengaged when you pull the trigger, so, as long as you keep your finger away from the trigger, this condition 2 scenario might not occur.
However, this changes if the firing pin block is disengaged by the grip safety ala the S&W 1911.
There's nothing mechanically dangerous about a glock. Its user ignorance / negligance that makes glocks or any other handgun unsafe. If the safety fundamentals are maintained with a glock, then there won't be a problem.
Actually, there really is nothing dangerous about ANY gun. Its the bullets that present a danger. :)
Because Im bored, I have one other comment in response to the comment on pg 2 about glocks being in condition 0. That is incorrect. Glocks, when carried with a round in the chamber are in a condition resembling 2. The trigger must be pulled on a glock to complete the cocking of the striker as well as the release of the striker. Glocks have redundant internal safeties that make them mechanically, very safe.
1911s were designed to be carried in condition 1. Looks dangerous to the novice, but if proper gun safety is maintained, its quite safe. Condition 2 is more dangerous than condition 1. In condition 2 the hammer could get snagge and pulled back enough to miss the half cock notch but still fall on the firing pin with enough force to fire the gun. In condition 1 the thumb safety locks the sear to the hammer and the grip safety blocks the trigger. This is mechanically very safe.
condition 3 is the best when carrying, condition 4 while in your car, gun in the glove box, clip in console. condition 0 is insane, condition 1 and 2 are pretty carless, one should only go to condition 0 right before firing at something, I dont trust saftey features, sometimes they can fail, I just like to keep a clip in and cock it when needed. One yeah you forgot one condition critical when someone keeps the gun in thier pants on condidtion (0) LOL LOL LOL
Dude, thanks for the video! I bought the Field EFS with either the 4 or 3.5 inch barrel, "can't remember at the moment," and this helped. Love the little beast of a handgun. All you Springfield yahoo's and Kimber guys, "To each his own."
Not to hate on you but you need to take a beginer pistol class, please stop giving advise to people about how to carry a firearm. Locked and cocked is the proper way to carry a 1911. Pulling a 1911 in any other "condition" in a real life situation your risking your own life and your familys if they are with you. P.S. Put you camera a little higher, or get a tripod, don't be discouraged by my or other commets, take a class and be safe. Good luck ; )
Lol Are you really complaining about this video? really? All I did in the video was go over the condition of carry of the 1911....how do you get "well this guy needs to take a class on fire arms" out of this? lol
I tried to be cool and suggest you take a formal firearms class, because anyone that would state you should carry a 1911 loaded with the hammer down is liable to get themselves killed, so suggesting it is bull and proves your level of experence with firearms. Suggesting "condition #2" is very irresposible of you to your viewers. If you want to post on my comp vids I what to see your comps?
1911 is meant to be carried in condition 1; cocked and locked. Perfectly safe; particularly with additional safeties that are added to the 1911 platform. Easily as safe as a chambered Glock.
I don't follow?.. A loaded glock is basically condition zero... I'm just responding to some ppl being fearful of a cocked and locked 1911. Glocks are totally safe and wanted to give some people a comparison to something they might be more familiar with.
the guy in this video is fuckin a stupid ass.

Impressed you know condition 0- most don't- So how is condition 0 in a 1911 with a firing pin safety unsafe?? It Is virtually no different than the way 10 million Glocks operate
sbd45acp 2 years ago
I wouldn't carry condition zero in a glock either
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
Duh- That is the point- A Glock with a round in the chamber needs only a trigger pull, which disengages the stirrup ( trigger safety ) That is, for a practical comparison to a 1911 - condition zero. That the striker is not full cocked makes no difference. If you pull the trigger on a Glock it will go bang. A zero condition 1911is no different except you must also depress the grip safety and pull the trigger. Grip the gun- pull trigger it goes bang
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Do you suggest carrying in -condition zero? I think that as long as you don't point it at someone and pull the trigger it is safe. I think that condition 1 and down take more motor control which isn't reliable under stress. I use to practice wiping the safety all day with my BHP, but I would rather carry in condition zero.

If I ever became a gun fighter I'd probably carry condition 0
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
If you ever became a gun fighter it wouldn't matter what condition you carried in because you'd get wasted before you even cleared your holster. You don't even carry one in the chamber of your smegma.

Denied- My point was that under stress to make a stock Glock fire or a stock 1911 in cond 0 fire, you pull a long 6 lb 2 stage (feel) trigger on the Glock & 6 lb SA short pull on 1911. I would never suggest carrying a handgun that is capable of being placed "on safe" - be carried in condition "0". For personal safety, the safety of those around you and most importantly liability.You want your buds to testify to a DA-"He never uses the safety!"Fight like you train-Train like you fight
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Carry condition 1is safer and sometimes with holsters there is a wide enough opening for something to get in the trigger guard even though it is completely in the holster, teach yourself to swipe the safety as you get a sight picture on the target, muscle memory and training is the key, train as you will fight, if you want condition 0 carry as described here, don't use a 1911, try Glock or Sig, something with a heavy first pull or heavier constant pull like the striker fired "DAO-like" Glock.

Only the firing pin can be damaged when dry firing without dummy cartridge.
bfgguns 2 years ago
Dropping the slide on a 1911 should be avoided, although it will not cause damage occasionally. The main reason not allow the slide to smack into battery is potential damage to the sear, disconnector and hammer hook surfaces that will not be disconnected if the trigger is not held to the rear as it would be when firing. As for dry firing- I have dry fired hundreds of 1911s thousands of times in practice- it does them no harm
sbd45acp 2 years ago
You haven't a clue as to what you're talking about. Exactly HOW does dry-firing damage the firing pin? Also, can explain why, after more than ten years, my 1911's firing pin has not been damaged? I dry-fire aleast twice once every day?
Fabiocrow0770 2 years ago 2
It is "theorized" that you "could" damage the firing pin, although i dry fire mine all the time in practice, never had a problem and don't actually foresee one.

Your going to fuck up your 1911. Never drop the slide if there are no rounds in the mag. P.S. Get a girlfriend LOSSER!!!!!
udderwize 2 years ago
First, no you are not fucking up your gun if you let the slide go forward with no round in the chamber.
Second, No one needs a fucking pussy.
Third, good video.
bfgguns 2 years ago
Actually you can. The bullet actually works as kind of a shock absorber so the slide dont slam forward so hard. Dropping the slide on and empty chamber inreases unnecessary wear and can cause premature failure of internal parts.
88RedRyder88 2 years ago
But that effect is negligible really. Never heard of that. At least for functioning tests it will not hurt the gun if you don't overdo it.
Also we are speaking of tempered steel here. I have several pistols made out of zinc alloy and it doesn't hurt them too.
If you are shooting your gun, it has to resist far more force than these few times of functioning tests you do which has an laughable effect on the gun compared to the shooting.
bfgguns 2 years ago
Also the internal parts have to resist far more shock during live firing. The manual cocking of the slide without a round in the chamber does not even come close to those forces.

I Kinda Like my wood grips
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
yeah, i use to leave wood grips on guns. the rubber of the hogue really absorbs the recoil; i can sincerely say they allow me to fire faster and more accurately. kind of like how i use to roll with the traditional sks stock. when i bought a folder ati pistol grip stock, it improved the accuacy and decreased the muzzle climb during recoil (due to the slant in the wood sks stock design).

samstterhamstteer 2 years ago
Yes it does. It takes two hands. That's a big difference. 1911's should be carried condition 2 because the thumb safeties disengage way to easy when upholstering. Condition 2 allows you to quickly fire with one hand.
jlchavis0844 2 years ago
Condition 1 is faster AND safer. If you carry condition 2 and you keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard when cocking the hammer with your thumb, note- you will only have three weak little fingers on the gun.
sbd45acp 2 years ago
I Carry condition 1 with my 1911
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
So what do you do if you don't shoot? You now have a 1911 in condition zero, with the thumb safety that you never use -not on.OK -lower the hammer 1 handed as well -right? Under stress, eventually that well oiled hammer is going to slip from under your thumb, fire, and split your thumb open when it recoils.
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Condition 1 is the way to go. Hammer cocked with the safety on. It's safe and in a ready condition to engage targets. Condition "0" is absolutely and completely insane. Condition 2 is not safe from what I understand.
adventuresocal 2 years ago
The problem with condition 2 is if your thumb slips when cocking the hammer, there's the risk that it can drop and strike the firing pin, causing an ND, particularly if the hammer is not caught at half-cock.
A Series 80 or similar has a firing pin block that is disengaged when you pull the trigger, so, as long as you keep your finger away from the trigger, this condition 2 scenario might not occur.
However, this changes if the firing pin block is disengaged by the grip safety ala the S&W 1911.

FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
There's nothing mechanically dangerous about a glock. Its user ignorance / negligance that makes glocks or any other handgun unsafe. If the safety fundamentals are maintained with a glock, then there won't be a problem.
Actually, there really is nothing dangerous about ANY gun. Its the bullets that present a danger. :)
evan1293 2 years ago
Lol Well Ya the bullets certainly do make a gun a little more unsafe =P
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
Because Im bored, I have one other comment in response to the comment on pg 2 about glocks being in condition 0. That is incorrect. Glocks, when carried with a round in the chamber are in a condition resembling 2. The trigger must be pulled on a glock to complete the cocking of the striker as well as the release of the striker. Glocks have redundant internal safeties that make them mechanically, very safe.
evan1293 2 years ago
I Just don't trust the Glocks...then again every gun is dangerous not just the Glock...Glocks are just over rated
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
guns are not dangerous - people are dangerous
sbd45acp 2 years ago
Also, just responding to a few of the comments...you can not have the thumb safety on with the hammer down on a 1911.
evan1293 2 years ago
1911s were designed to be carried in condition 1. Looks dangerous to the novice, but if proper gun safety is maintained, its quite safe. Condition 2 is more dangerous than condition 1. In condition 2 the hammer could get snagge and pulled back enough to miss the half cock notch but still fall on the firing pin with enough force to fire the gun. In condition 1 the thumb safety locks the sear to the hammer and the grip safety blocks the trigger. This is mechanically very safe.
evan1293 2 years ago
true
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
condition 3 is the best when carrying, condition 4 while in your car, gun in the glove box, clip in console. condition 0 is insane, condition 1 and 2 are pretty carless, one should only go to condition 0 right before firing at something, I dont trust saftey features, sometimes they can fail, I just like to keep a clip in and cock it when needed. One yeah you forgot one condition critical when someone keeps the gun in thier pants on condidtion (0) LOL LOL LOL
Simbaah777 2 years ago

Not to hate on you but you need to take a beginer pistol class, please stop giving advise to people about how to carry a firearm. Locked and cocked is the proper way to carry a 1911. Pulling a 1911 in any other "condition" in a real life situation your risking your own life and your familys if they are with you. P.S. Put you camera a little higher, or get a tripod, don't be discouraged by my or other commets, take a class and be safe. Good luck ; )

I tried to be cool and suggest you take a formal firearms class, because anyone that would state you should carry a 1911 loaded with the hammer down is liable to get themselves killed, so suggesting it is bull and proves your level of experence with firearms. Suggesting "condition #2" is very irresposible of you to your viewers. If you want to post on my comp vids I what to see your comps?

1911 is meant to be carried in condition 1; cocked and locked. Perfectly safe; particularly with additional safeties that are added to the 1911 platform. Easily as safe as a chambered Glock.

I was with you up until You said "Glock" lol
FabioCrow07770 2 years ago
I don't follow?.. A loaded glock is basically condition zero... I'm just responding to some ppl being fearful of a cocked and locked 1911. Glocks are totally safe and wanted to give some people a comparison to something they might be more familiar with.
