Thanks everyone. I now fully understand the process. I appreciate everybody helping me learn.

I have caught the fever for a 1911 style pistol. I believe the only hold up is my lack of understanding of how you shoot one. Couple questions. When the hammer is back, how do you get it back forward without firing? Also do you cycle the slide only (like my xd) to chamber? If someone could take the time to explain the process from safe to fire ready, back to safe it would make me feel a whole lot better. Since there are many, I'm mainly concerned with colt defender and kimbers. Thanks
