Adam,

Apparently my sense of humor missed the target.

While I actually do understand the function of the three safeties on my Llama (half-cock, thumb safety and grip safety), perhaps I don't understand the term Locked and Cocked. I was of the impression that it meant:

1)a round in the chamber
2)hammer "fully cocked"
3)safety(s) on.

If this is correct, then you have hit the nail on the head - I should stick with a revolver. I simply am not comfortable carrying any firearm with the hammer at full cock (as many people do).

When I asked my rather covert question about the method of draw for a 1911 "NOT" Locked and Cocked - I assumed NOT Locked and Cocked meant:

1)a round in the chamber
2) hammer at "half-cock"
3) safety(s) on.

As alway, thanks for your expert feed-back.
