Of course, it's not a Glock, it's a 1911 style that requires me to unsafe it, and cock it before that first round can be fired.

You carry a 1911 with a round in the chamber and the hammer down?

[JRandomFreeper]

Yep. Have for many years. There is after all, a detent position for the hammer between full cock and where it actually fires, so the hammer isn't resting on the firing pin.

If it’s a Series 80, loaded and hammer down is a possible carry configuration.
