Maybe an unfair comparison... The Yaqui is OWB and always easier to draw vs typical IWB or AIWB concealed carry.XtremeDuty.45 wrote:Thanks for the reply. With your Yaqui are you able to draw quickly as you would in a self defense situation? Or do you have to be a little more careful with your draw?
I have not had to make any conscious adjustment to draw from the Yaqui using any gun. If I close my eyes and think about it, my natural motion is to draw either straight up or with a motion that would cause the muzzle end to rotate rearward at the beginning of my draw (consider what your wrist is doing at the start of your draw... bending to fit your arm above your weapon and then moving up and forward as you draw.)...
Not sure that's what you're looking for....
How about this..??
If you have a variety of 1911 lengths and want to use one holster, go for the open ended holster. Either 1. it'll work fine for you or 2. You'll have fun practicing the change to your draw to overcome any concerns or 3. you'll only use it for the shorter 1911's and get a longer holster for the longer slides (in which case you're not really out much, since you'd have needed multiple holsters anyways)..
