I am surprised they are going with the SA 1911. The only way it is
useful in combat is in condition 1.

OK, Gregg, I'll bite....What is 'condition 1'?

I thought you were an army guy

"Cocked and locked" (round in the chamber, hammer back, safety on)

In all of the years that I worked around military security, the only
time I saw a "condition 1" .45 was at NSA and that marine puts his
finger in your belt loop.
Most of the time they are condition 4, (empty gun). A guy who is good
can load and get off an aimed shot in less than 2 seconds but that
will be from a magazine in his hip pocket or waist band, not that
pouch on his belt..

On the firing range, it's 'locked and loaded'. Off the firing range,
it's whatever you need it to be
depending on the situation.

We never really discussed 'conditions' for the status of a weapon.

Many years ago, in a different time and place, I was "qualified" in
both small
arms (a military 45) and in the operation of a Browning Automatic
Rifle (BAR).
My qualification on the BAR consisted of about two hours of
instruction by a
Navy Gunner's Mate.

Never heard of "conditions".
