...in a snapped, leather-under-the-hammer holster, I'd agree...which most of them are...but I don't like 'em at all...call me old-fashioned...ancient...doddering...oh well...

...to carry a 1911 IWB only puts yer own - personage - at risk...to carry the same in a horizontal rig is more risky...to others'...

Come to think of it; I wore shoulder-rigs, normal holsters and those funky holsters that you wrap around your thigh (when on a mission). Never had any issues with negligent-discharges.

...you don't mean you carried it cocked, though, do you? normal carry for a DA/SA is to carry it hammer down on a live round...first shot normally DA...I've never known anyone carry one cocked for a SA first shot...on most, the safety decocks it and that'd be like carrying a 1911 cocked safety off...with no grip safety...tell me I need another cuppa coffee to understand what your meant...

...nebbermind...I forgot "normal" military carry of a pistol is empty pipe...been a long time....when I was in, they let the bullets finish growing to full size before pickin' 'em...

Why the reluctance to say where it happened?

...and then he's posting about black helicopters following him everywhere...I don't blame him...you know how "they" are...and they're watching...

...I wouldn't have moved unless it was a 1911 cocked'n'locked...if it was a Beretta, or a Sig...they don't carry cocked and locked...but down on a live round with a transfer bar or hammer block keeping them safe...a cocked'n'locked 1911 in a good holster SHOULDN'T be a problem, but it woulda ruined my concentration on more important matters at hand, namely crammin' my face...never have liked those horizontal shoulder holsters...but they're really popular these days...I woulda told him "My! What a big hole you have there!!!"...but I'm kinda smartalecky, anyways...
