I have often read that the 1911 was designed to carried cocked and locked.
But since it was originally a military side arm, wouldn't it be accurate to assume it was originally designed as a sidearm secondary to a long arm (in a combat scenario) to be carried with a fully loaded mag and an empty chamber with the hammer down and holstered until it was called into action?
