1911 Pistol FAQ
What does cocked and locked mean?
Carrying a 1911 with a round chambered, the hammer back and the thumb safety on. It is how the design is meant to be carried.
Do 1911 magazines fit every 1911?
Single stack magazines of the same caliber and frame size generally interchange. Officer guns use shorter magazines, and 9mm and 45 ACP magazines do not interchange.
