Do you carry them cocked and locked with one in the chamber like a 1911, or are they carried with the hammer down and are Double action first shot? Thinking or getting one of these EAA Hi powers to play with.

Cocked and Locked.  They are single action.

Original Hi Powers aside from some of the FEG clone variants etc are not double action.

There is no probllem carrying them C&L.

I am still looking for a kydex holster so I can open carry mine

I just don't know what status I will keep it in.....or whatever the boomers call it......kondition

Mine is a occupation marked one.....so it doesn't have all the safety features of the others

@Member13 Maybe get a Springfield or Girsan to carry in that case. War time Hi Powers are collectible.

You are going to use a WWII Hi Power as your carry gun?
If your extractor breaks you will find why that wasn't a good idea.

Agreed on this.  

If you want to carry a hi-power, buy a modern Girsan or a surplus FN that won't matter if it gets beat up, and will probably be more reliable.  Don't carry a collector piece.

This^
You may want to pick up a spare just in case. The extractor needs to be fitted as well.

Try a 1911 holster.  My HP works just fine in a 1911 holster, leather or plastic.
