The funny part about this is that the 1911 was designed to suit the military as a replacement for a revolver, fire by squeezing the trigger. So what did they do when they got the gun, directed that the official carry was hammer down, safety off, empty chamber and a loaded magazine in the gun. In the GI flap holster it is pretty useless in that condition, unless you call "time out" so you can engage. 
I carry two striker guns, a KelTec 380 and a Para Ord LDA lite, the little 7 shot 3 inch CCW 45. The LDA has a hammer but it is a decoration.
