I'm new to 1911's and want to know the best way to lower hammer on charged chamber. Seems the safest way is to eject the round and recharge when needed. Thanks in advance.

Now I dis-agree .... the safe way to lower the hammer on a loaded chamber is to point the weapon at a hippy or communist and pull the trigger slowly, dont jerk it:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

If you clear the chamber, it's no longer Condition Two. Loaded mag and empty chamber is Condition Three.

There's no earthly reason to use Condition Two. It has exactly zero advantages over Condition One, and is far more dangerous, despite the opinions of the uninformed and untrained. There's no good reason at all to use Condition Two. 1911s should be either unloaded or in Condition One.

I thought condition two was strange since you would by definition need to lower the hammer on a round. I understand now that "cocked and locked" is a safer and more ready set up. I am headed to the range today and looking forward to firing a few rounds. Any break in advice?

Hey, now!:smt018 I used to be a hippy...but I repented. Some hippies are nice folks.
Rather than shoot a communist, just show them you gun and ask "Wouldn't you like the right to keep and bear this, too?" You'll make a convert!:smt1099
