[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1064502, member: 7123"] That's correct. There are at least 3 safeties still engaged carrying cocked and UNlocked: The grip safety, the holster covering the trigger guard, and my brain. YMMV, but I know at least one 1911 EXPERT 'smith who endorses this method - 100% safe if YOU are. People go into eplileptic seizures when you tell them this, but that's just due to inertia/tradition. The reality is that it's no less safe than carrying any other pistol without a manual safety - when the holster covers the trigger guard, it is utterly irrelevant how long and/or heavy the trigger pull is. In fact, it's SAFER than a gun with no safety, since it actually has a safety engaged - the grip safety. The grip safety makes it drop-safe, too. Procedure is: Load. Safety on. Holster. Safety Off. Carry. (then in reverse). Safety On. Unholster. Do whatever. This way the safety is on while holstering and unholstering. [/QUOTE]
