In the Military (of yesteryear) "Condition 3" was the mode of carry. However some guys (Jimmy) carried "Condition 1" This was done (Condition 3 to Condition 1) after relief and again right before my relief was due to arrive (Condition 1 back to Condition 3).
I knew MPs that could draw halfway from the holster, turn the M1911 side ways, push down on the weapon thus chambering a round and thus the weapon was in Condition 1 when the weapon cleared the holster.
