Re: new to carry observations

I carried for the first time today. I was going to carry my Commander sized S&W 1911, but I think my OWB holster (Milt Sparks Axiom) needs to be broken in. Instead, I carried a Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. Not the one in my sig(which I do own), but the same model. It concealed a little easier OWB than the 1911 does. It's a littl ethinner, and rides a little higher.

I am getting a 3" 1911 (Colt New Agent) next week, and I think IWB is gonna be used on that one. Earlier today, I slipped my 1911, in its holster, in my waistband. It was VERY comfortable like that. I actually won't be surprised if I end up liking IWB more than OWB!

Like a lot of you guys, I have started wearing my wallet in the left rear pocket. Here's how I used to used my pockets:

R Front: knife clipped to pocket, cell phone
L front: keys
R Rear: wallet

Versus now:

R front: empty
L front: cell phone and knife clipped to pocket
L rear: wallet
keys now clip onto 9:00 belt loop
