RC,
It was my impression the holster in question is one of the best IWB on the market. the problem is that on an ambi 1911 the outboard lever is vulnerable to contact under certain circumstances. If you could provide a link to either a low profile OWB or IWB leather holster that covers the outboard ambi lever I'd be very grateful.
In over 6 months of carry I found the safety off twice. Once due to car and seatbelt contact when I twisted around to look to the rear with the seatbelt fastened. And once, sitting in a folding chair, if I slouched just the right way the outboard lever would catch on the back of the chair and be pushed off.
I used the tape and bag method because for such a simple mod on a stainless part I didn't feel like detail stripping the gun. Also, as I wasn't quite sure how much of the original lever I was going to remove, I'd cut some off and re assemble and asses how it felt and how hard it was to rub off the safety while holstered. Then break it down and cut a bit more off.
