  not a 1911 expert so i cant answer your barrel ? To lower the hammer you 1 release the safety 2 hold the hammer firmly 3 pull and hold the trigger 4 lower the hammer 5 release the triggerNote: practice this with a competely unloaded weapon as letting the hammer slip will cause the weapon to discharge

  There are many techinques.Personally, I always put my thumb between the hammer and firing pin so if the hammer slips, it will hit my thumb and not the firing pin. Better ouch than bang.Another trick to release the grip safety is to pull the hammer back far enough to contact the grip safety, which will deactivate it if pulled far enough, then, while holding the trigger back, and with your thumb between the hammer and firing pin, carefully lower the hammer to rest on the firing pin stop. This way, you do not have to try to deactivate the grip safety with your third hand while using one had to lower the hammer and the other to pull the trigger.
