Ok, if you want a Condition without a number, it was not unknown for soldiers in foxholes at night to keep a 1911 on the half-cock notch, chamber loaded, safety off. Obviously a better idea with the orig style halfcock notch than later on.

IIRC the original intent of the safety was to let a Calvary guy re-holster safely while riding. Whereas with a SAA they used to just plant a round into nearby ground to "decock".
