Othais, host of C&Rsenal and a recognized firearm expert, conducted an open carry experiment with a 1911 pistol in Condition 1 ('cocked and locked'). He observed that many 'Fudds' (older firearm enthusiasts) expressed concern about the hammer being back, indicating a lack of awareness regarding this common and safe carry method for 1911-style pistols. This experiment highlights a generational gap in firearm knowledge and public perception.
