I carry cocked and locked, too.
I know it bothers some to see a pistol carried cocked, but, that's a perception problem, not a real one. I guess I better explain that. . .
A 1911 has 2 safeties, the thumb safety and the grip safety. So, when you carry 'cocked and locked' you have 2 safeties at work.
Now, does it worry you to carry a Glock, or any other pistol (striker fired) without a visible hammer? I bet it doesn't.
Glocks, and many other concealed hammer autos, are basically cocked all the time. You do have the safety on the trigger on a Glock.
So, carry a Glock with one safety, or a 1911 with 2. .. .which one makes you nervous? They're both cocked. You just can't see it on the concealed hammer designs.
I don't mean to pick on Glocks- I use them for an example because they're well known.
