I carry my .45's in condition 1. I use the custom holster Lane made me, as well as my shoulder rig by Mitch Rosen. I also use a custom holster made by 5 Shot Leather for my Ultra Carry. My holsters are OWB, as I'm not comfortable wearing an IWB. I'd have to buy my trousers and belts in a larger size for the IWB.

I carry my 1911s in condition1. I rotate thru a few IWB mostly and an OWB once in a while (easier in winter to OWB). I also carry a backup sometimes on ankle carry and 1to3 mags. Once in a while I also carry SOB. but not very often.
My H&K USP I carry OWB cause its too big to stuff in my pants.

Since Mike posted a nice pic of his VM2 ... here's a shot of my Guardian in my Kelley Gunleather Horsehide C-Flex. Though it's not identical, n's acknowledged basing his C-Flex on the VM2. I've never had a VM2, but the C-Flex is a sweet carry holster and is about 2/3 the price of the VM2 and I got it in less than a month (though it looks like n's time to delivery has grown a bit since I got mine).

Like Primo.... This:



Dan Wesson CCO, cocked and locked in a Lane Spier IWB holster. I also take advantage of a pair of PERRY brand suspenders. They are 1-1/2" wide, with plastic clips for your belt instead of alligigigator jaws. Three points of contact. Hold up my pants like nothing else I've worn. Inexpensive too. Walmart and "work clothing" stores carry them.

Forgot to add... Esmeralda slim grips on the CCO. takes about 1/4" of thickness off the handle thingy just below the power switch. OOPS! Power switch is on the other side of the gun. The Handle Thingy is right behind the bullet ejector thing in this picture.

I carry either a fullsize steel Wilson or a Kimber Tactical Pro (4") OWB in a Wilson Sharkskin Lo Profile or a custom made by our own Leatherman Cowboy. IWB usually a Wilson Summer Companion or a Wilson Featherweight. Cocked and locked is the ONLY way to carry a 1911. Light trigger has no bearing..if the thumb safety is on, it can't shoot. If the grip safety is engaged, it can't shoot. Both have to be manipulated and the trigger pulled in order for it to fire, unlike a Glock. When in a combat situation, when microseconds can count and your under an adrenaline dump, do you want to have to rack the slide? Only way you can fire it with the safeties engaged is to put a punch on the end of the firing pin and swat it with a hammer.

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.

I carry OWB, because I have been laid up and have gained about 80 lbs. I carry a Sig Ultra Compact or my Ruger SR1911. Just whichever I feel like. Mostly the Sig. I carry condition 1 with 2 spare mags. I could really care less if I "print". All the people around here know me and know if I have my pants on, I got a gun.
