1911 carry cocked and locked

[okierider]

Yes and I wish my Shield could be carried that way. I just can not feel comfortable with a striker fired pistol after so many years of revolvers, DA pistols and 1911s. I would trade it in a heartbeat for a small 9 that could be carried cocked and locked. Even a Star BK or BKM. Just something about it feels safer to me.

Yea I am weird, get over it.

So your in a forum full of weird , around here your normal !!

Isn't that a scary thought?

If the strap overcocks the hammer, it’s actually taking the sear nose out of contact with the hammer hooks. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, I just would rather not have that engagement open and amp point other than the firing cycle

Minor adjustment with a file on the thumbreak NOT THE GUN.

To this day my right thumb is still looking for the thumbreak and the safety. I just cannot control it.

Yep carried one every day right up to the day I retired.

Old slabsides was a good feeling to have on your hip wasn't it.

10-4, I am sure with the holster on, I can probably fit the weapon a bit better. I appreciate the feedback

RickN I love my shield in a Bianchi M100 iwb. Carries all do comfortable.

Mine too, if not looking for the hammer on a revolver. I started out with single action revolvers and still cock on the draw when carrying a revolver. (sometimes an auto)

That's what I think too.
