carry for myself
Regular Member
okay so i barely just lost my 1911 cherry last week when i purchased myself a Taurus PT1911 AF. Im used to Striker fired weapons or SA/DA, thus i am highly not used to the SAO weapons like the 1911.
when i bought the gun i got a serpa holster for OC, but as alot of you know this holster sucks for CC. So i went out today and bought a Desantis leather pancake with a thumbbreak for CC and dress wear.
the issue is this. i as most everyone else that owns a 1911 carry +1, hammer back and safety on.........issue is the holster *even though made for the 1911* flips the safety off whenever i lock the strap over the weapon and snap it in place.
my question to you 1911 vets is.........is this still safe to carry +1 hammer back with the safety off? am i right in assuming that because the thumbbreak leather strap goes between the hammer and the firing pin, blocking the hammer from dropping onto it even if it did drop makes this a safe way to carry?
i've now bought and returned 8 separate holsters and every single one does this.....is this normal and am i good to go?
