If I carry a 1911, it could be either IWB or OWB, depending on how I am dressed. I rarely carry a 1911, I expect that to change some once I get my LW Commander up to speed.

I only carry a 1911 in Condition 1. I understand the reasons that some folks do not carry this way, my feeling is that if I don't trust either the gun or me to do this safely, I'm carrying the wrong gun.

Condition 1 in VM2 (IWB) or 5 Shot Leather SAP (OWB). Both excellent quality and very comfortable. If I'm carrying my Sig P238 it's cocked and locked in a DeSantis Super Fly pocket holster.

Mike, love your suspenders idea. Will have to give them a try. Thx.

I carry Condition 1 in an OWB holster by Lane with whatever I happen to carry, Compact, Mid Size or Full size!!! If a tux or suit is required I carry in a Galco Miami Classic shoulder holster!!!

When I carry my 1911 I go with cocked and locked in a cut down crossbreed.

I always carry locked and cocked, OWB with FBI cant also carry and extra 3 8 mags.

Each person has their own reasons they carry a certain way...............

It feels off at first and you will surely get comments from people that may see it and don't know better. I have done some research and as far as I can find, in over 100 years I could not find a documented case of an AD/ND from a properly holstered 1911 on safe. I'm not saying it couldn't have happened, I just couldn't find one. I have enough confidence in the triple redundant safety to carry it cocked and locked. I have some pretty light triggers, if they are so light that they may cause an AD/ND I would consider them nonfunctional, and not safe to carry in any condition. IMHO
OWB LASCO
IWB: Milt Sparks VMII or LASCO

fully loaded, cocked, on safe
