Condition 1 – Also known as “cocked and locked,” means a round is in the chamber, the hammer is cocked, and the manual thumb safety on the side of the frame is applied.
Condition 2 – A round is in the chamber and the hammer is down.
Condition 3 – The chamber is empty and hammer is down with a charged magazine in the gun.
Condition 4 – The chamber is empty, hammer is down and no magazine is in the gun.
Where are you guys finding this list ? Whats the reference ?
I’m typically a condition 2 guy. Works well with the SIG 229 I usually carry.
Semi-Auto pistol Conditions,,
Thanks.
This pistol in the photos was Condition Zero, assuming there was a round in the chamber.
I’m betting that it was stolen and that he didn’t pay retail price for it.
