I believe the Walther PPS has a 6 or 7 round mag.

Ditto the Colt Mustang/Pocketlite Plus II and the Government .380 (which are all basically the same gun, allowing for differences like alloy/stainless).

Seven plus one. Condition III carry, (half) cocked and locked.

Astra Constables are the same capacity, iirc.

With all due respect, and begging your pardon, but this is not condition 3. See the below.

=======
Condition Four: Chamber empty, no magazine, hammer down.
Condition Three: Chamber empty, full magazine in place, hammer down.
Condition Two: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer down.
Condition One: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety on.
Condition Zero: A round chambered, full magazine in place, hammer cocked, safety off.
========
(Per Wiki, Jeff Cooper)(note--no half-cock "safety" used in the above)

Experimenting with my 1911, at half-cock, the slide safety will not completely engage. No experienced shooter ever uses or depends on half-cock. It's a good way to break the mechanism. Not suggested. IMHO

I always carry Condition 1, with holster retaining strap between hammer and slide, snap-buttoned. For many years.

Suggesting you either review the above and modify your recommendations, or forgo instructing others in M1911A gun safety.
