OK, yet another question(s) on the 1911. I figure i owe it to myself and everyone to COMPLETELY understand everything on my 1911. What is the pourpose of having a half cock? Surely its not for safety is it? Also, when I load my 1911, I insert the mag, and pull my slide back to put one in the chamber, from the mag. At this point the 1911 is fully cocked. The only way to decock it, as far as I know, is to slowly pull the trigger as your hanging on to the hammer, allowing it to close slowly. As Im new to carrying, im not 100% comforatable carrying lock and loaded. Has anyone ever had a 1911 go off decocking one like this?
