i'm a newbie to guns and i always hear people mention condition 1 carry. so i search for an explanation of the codes and i found the following:
Conditions of Readiness.
Condition 0 - A round is in the chamber, the hammer is cocked, and the safety is off.
Condition 1 - Also called "cocked and locked", this means that a round is in the chamber, the hammer is cocked, and the manual thumb safety is on.
Condition 2 - A round is in the chamber, the hammer is uncocked.
Condition 3 - There is no round in the chamber, the hammer is uncocked but a fully loaded magazine is inserted in the mag well.
Condition 4 - The chamber is empty, the hammer is uncocked and there is no magazine inserted in the mag well
i have an HS45 compact pistol. I carry it with a loaded chamber (10+1). would i be right to say, i'm carrying it condition 0 since my gun does not have manual safety?
