Does anybody carry a 1911 in a holster that has a thumb break between the slide and the hammer?
For illustrative purposes (from Galco)
Uh... supposed to between the slide and hammer, anyway.
A man in brown shorts in a brown truck somewhere is running around with a 1911 that I ordered and I'm looking for an OWB that I could use to carry openly when I want to.
Do you reach OVER the beavertail to unsnap it, or do you unsnap with your thumb then get a grip. One seems (looks) like it would be incredibly awkward, and the other seems like it would be incredibly slow. Or do you just cant the gun to the right until it unsnaps itself, defeating the purpose of the retention mechanism...
I'm curious to see what you guys think, and as always, if you have any specific holster favorites, post them.
Thanks.
