Summary: This week I jump into the dreaded 1911 Carry Condition 1 vs Carry Condition 2 debate. There was one thing in this episode that I had planned on mentioning that I didn't. If for some reason condition 1 is not an option, I would much prefer carrying in condition 3, rather than condition 2. You don't have to drop the hammer, and racking the slide in condition 3 is a gross motor skill. Thumbing the hammer in condition 2 is a fine motor skill. Guess which one is more likely to be flubbed under stress? Don't forget to head over to the Gun Rights Radio Network and donate to enter to win a Sig SP2022 9mm.
