@pdurod Sure, if any firearm is out of battery then It won't (or shouldn't) fire but thats not a safety so much as it is a safety feature since if it were to happen the most likely result would be for the cartridge to rupture while sticking partway out of the chamber.
Very well done explanation for a new shooter. One point on the hammer in the decocked position with a round in the chamber. Some believe this is also dangerous if the pistol was to fall and hit the hammer the round will fire. This is false due to the fact the firing pin has an interia design. Which means the firing pin won't engage the primer without a full strike of the hammer due to the firing pin spring. In my opinion the 1911 45 design is still the best handgun ever made.
what happens iff a bullet is in the chamber the hammer pullet back and you pull the upper part of the gun back 2 times ? will the bullet just fall out on top ?
Great video have always Q about the decocking the hammer

I thought there was a 3rd safety. when you push the barrel or slide from the front, it won't fire. been a while pardon me...

I should have watched this before field stripping. They key is to release the spring first.

@7Supernova7 If you were to cock the hammer and then rack the slide twice then yes, the cartridge would just be ejected without firing.
