Condition 1 is always with the safety on...condition 0 is safety off and ready to roll. If you put a single action firearm in a holster in condition 0 (especially one with no grip safety) you should be prepared to be presenting your Blue Cross card very soon.</div></div>
Beretta's are often carried with the safety off and the hammer down, for a double action holster carry. You put the safety on, thereby releasing the hammer, and then flip it back off. Seen it plenty… The weapon can only be discharged by pulling the double action trigger, or by cocking and firing single action.
A 1911 however, would never be carried in this way, especially since it's single action only, and would be carried condition one, safety on. NFS
