Re: carrying HK USP cocked and locked

sar wrote:I have a usp-c in 40. It's designed so it can be carried with a round in the chamber, hammer back, safety on. I know a few folks who say they carry these in condition 1. To be clear, I have no problem with a 1911 cocked and locked and have carried that way (in fact that's the only way I carry a 1911) However the grip safety adds a measure of comfort to my carrying that way and the HK doesn't have one. If the safety inadvertently flipped off, then you're carrying cocked with no safety.
I realize that the trigger still needs to be pressed, but still is concerning in single action..
any input or experience?
I carry a BHP cocked and locked. Every once in a while something will knock the safety off. It's weird, but it seems it happens most often in the grocery store. I think the basket must be just the right height to make it happen. Anyway, I've developed a habit of stealthily checking the safety a few times each day.
