Re: Thinking about a compact .45 for concealed carry

I carry it in a Crossbreed Supertuck IWB, dress pants and button down shirt tucked over it.
Exactly what he said, except I can carry in tshirts and shorts with no problems at all.

Almost 400 rounds through mine, never failed to feed any kind of ammo, only time I had any problems at all, it was locking the slide back with one left in the magazine. It did this two or three times total. If I had been careless and just racked it forward instead of visually inspecting the chamber, I would have had one in the pipe without knowing it. That's enough to make you sweat a bit.

I figured out what was happening was I was engaging the magazine release enough to let it drop the mag a fraction of an inch, enough for it to lock the slide. Changed my grip and I've never had another problem.
