I hope I am wrong, but is this hammer cocked?

[T.Lex]

Was that the name? I only remembered two things from that case: the daughter took her clothes off for a living, and the seatbelt caught on the hammer of dad's gun.

Whoa, hoss. This is the Ed Delaney thing. I think Kinyon was involved.

Like I said I don't remember the name, but I was at the house taking the report. They lived off HD, just southeast of our northern border.

OP had a valid question to begin with. So what if he/she gets 50 posts in the process. We all got ours the same way.

I joined when you only needed 10 quality posts. Still trying to get there.....

I originally had a hard time getting to 10. By the time I got to 10 they raised it to 50. I did'nt post much back then.

True story, I took a report on a guy who was protecting his daughter from a stalker ex boyfriend. Boyfriend catches up with dad and daughter in a store lot, and dad trays to drive away. Boyfriend attacks dad through the window, dad pulls our gun, and "click" doesn't fire. Seatbelt caught in-between hammer, preventing it from firing. I've never thought highly of those types of weapons since.

If the gun did fire would it have be a good shoot?

Ah, the good old days.

Ah, the good old days.

I observed what you did.

Oh yeah, 100% good.

Just wanted to say cocked one more time. cocked.

This made me laugh. Out loud. For an uncomfortable period of time....

 

[Thegeek]

How come no one is talking about how hot the reporter is.... talk about something that I'd like to cock....

A little Cyprus Hill. They agree. Cock the Hammer.

You can add one more quality post if you'd just admit that Belichick, Brady and the whole Patriots organization have been systematically cheating for years.

LOL. Dammit. Get the Colts back to where they belong so we can have some good games again!!!!!!

Condition 0 – A round is in the chamber, hammer is cocked, and the safety is off.
Condition 1 – Also known as “cocked and locked,” means a round is in the chamber, the hammer is cocked, and the manual thumb safety on the side of the frame is applied.
Condition 2 – A round is in the chamber and the hammer is down.
Condition 3 – The chamber is empty and hammer is down with a charged magazine in the gun.
Condition 4 – The chamber is empty, hammer is down and no magazine is in the gun.

My Glocks are in Condition 1 (Cocked and Locked) while switching them from one holster to the other.
While safe in their holsters, I switch them to Condition 0.

Try to figure that one out...

But, yes, the other posts are correct that you really should carry on a loaded chamber since that extra second to rack the first round in might not be available.

The extra time is one component, but the fact you may not have both hands available is the primary reason I'm so against it. People think they can rack it on their belt or shoe because they can do it at the range. Rack it on your belt when someone is jerking you around and someone else is trying to disarm you.

Boyfriend attacks dad through the window, dad pulls our gun, and "click" doesn't fire. Seatbelt caught in-between hammer, preventing it from firing.

I'd like to see the reenactment of that and how it occurred and how it was not rectified by slightly moving the gun and pulling the trigger again. Sounds suspect to me, perhaps an explanation as to why he didn't shoot.

Walking about with the hammer cocked? Might just be me, but I wouldn't do it. Unsafe?

I don't know, thus I ask the forums input. Thank you.

It's a whatever your comfortable with scenario. I personally want my weapon ready to fire at the quickest position possible.

 

[Psode27]

To the OPs original question, it was legit. Without being a "student" of JMB, and what is generally regarded as safe practice with different actions, I think its a guy looking for answers.
Welcome to INGO. We are generally nicer than ARFcom or m4carbine. Don't give up yet!

The trigger pull isn't the bottle neck on the first pull, the draw stroke and sight alignment is. I'm prepping my DA pull on the way up and breaking it on target.
