Can't do that Condition 1 you describe with a Beretta M92FS/M9. I happen to own a Beretta M92FS made in Italy, and have owned it for 10 years. Plus, have experience with issue M9 as it was my issue weapon while a battery commander in 3ID. Additionally, I own two Colt M1911A1 type of handguns (one is a WW2 made and issue M1911A1, other is my carry gun, a Mark-IV, Series 70).

Beretta M92FS/M9 is double action. The safety is dual safety/hammer decocker. If you c-ock the hammer, and then engage the safety, the mechanism drops the hammer safely even with a round in the chamber. Now, with M1911 series or most any single action semi auto for that matter, you can carry cocked and locked (Condition 1), as they do not have a decocker.
