Condition 0, 1, Etc.?

McPatrickClan · May 9th, 2008, 10:59 PM

Can someone define the "conditions" for me?

Thanks.

Conditions of readiness:

Condition 0: round in chamber, hammer cocked, safety Off
Condition 1: round in chamber, hammer cocked, safety On
Condition 2: round in chamber, hammer uncocked
(note: all of the above include a loaded magazine in the weapon)

Condition 3: empty chamber, hammer uncocked, loaded magazine in weapon
Condition 4: empty chamber, no magazine in weapon

Are the "conditions" only for 1911's?

EDIT: Never mind, I just found a site that defines these in detail. Yes, the "conditions are only for 1911's.

When my XD40 has the striker indicator lit up & there's a round in the chamber, doesn't that make it "condition 0" even though it's not a 1911?

These conditions only apply to the 1911 style pistols. Your XD has other built in safeties so until you are pulling the trigger your more like condition 1.

We've done this topic before.

Condition code for a 1911?

Just don't try to put a 1911 into C2. A DA/SA like the PPK/S is designed for C2.

Condition '1'...is there another way to carry?

berettaguy · May 10th, 2008, 01:32 AM

would it be considered Condition 0: round in chamber, hammer cocked, safety Off if your gun is a DAO with no safety?
