The main reason I sold my 1911 (9mm) was I could never get comfortable with carrying cocked and locked. And there was this new-fangled raygun looking thing called the P7 that had just come out, I had to be the first one on my block to get one of those. ($450NIB_OTD w/ 2mags). You could carry it with one in the pipe and all the springs relaxed.
The worst thing about selling my 1911 was I had a factory Ace .22 conversion kit for it. That was major fun.

Re: Do you keep one in the "pipe?"
Unless you're willing to train in Israeli style carry, of course you keep one in the pipe.
A friend, who is also a Krav Maga instructor, carries regularly but for various reasons, does not keep one in the chamber. But he's practiced enough that he can chamber one in a fraction of a second, says he can even rack the slide on an opponents face if he's grappling.
