New here but been carrying for a little while in southern Oklahoma, Recently purchased a 1911 Taurus and I love this gun. I want to try to figure out the best way to switch over to it as a primary CCW but between the size difference on the gun from the compact that I normally carry and tipping the scales at a little over 300 lbs(short and round, not tall and bumpy) I'm a bit at a loss. I looked through the history and used the search but didn't find much that applied...maybe because there is no solution?
My normal attire is professional casual wear, so slack tucked in long sleave shirt, no jacket, no tie(though If somone has a concealment meathod that requires a tie I'll be amazed...) and not really in any position to change this without causing at least a little bit of notice...so anyone else out there with any life experiance or even quasi-brilliant ideas?
oh...other half of my question, should be pretty simple, what is the safest way to carry a 1911 type? I'm figuring empty chamber as cocked and locked just seems...well wrong.
