I carried a fullsize cocked and locked for a long time. The answer is that it depends on the holster. Carrying C&L loose in a fanny pack or purse is not a good idea. On the holster I had, the thumbstrap went between the slide and hammer, the gun could only be carried C&L with that holster.Can the USPc realey be carried "cocked and locked"?
IIRC the manual states that is an option with the variant 1. It seems a little unsafe to me.
Does anyone carry there USPc in that manner? What are your opinions please.
Thanks

Or have the gun turned to variant 3. No safety just decocker. The best thing about variant 1 is the ability to carry cocked and locked.If you dont feel good with Condition 1, then de-cock it and put the safety on.
That's what variant 3 would be... no safety, just de-cocker.I normally carry decocked with the safety on, comments on decocked and saftey off? Thanks
And as a side note, the slide can be manipulated (for good or bad) with the safety on, which leads to improved safety during unloading. The bad, although minor, is the slide can be moved 'out-of-battery' if a tight holster is utilized...USP V1 was designed to mimic the Condition 1 carry of the Colt 1911/P35, I feel just as safe carrying the V1 in Condition 1, as the Colt 1911/P35 in Condition 1. If you don't feel good with Condition 1, then de-cock it and put the safety on.
