Full cock w/safety on and it doesn't fit at all. (Browning Hi-Power)
It isn't as rare as you might think.I can't imagine a holster made for the HP that DOESN'T allow carry at full cock.
Are you sure that this holster is made for a Hi Power?

Since a Galco holster for a 1911 is, I believe, the same model number for a Hi-Power, I'd think a Galco thumb break holster for a Hi-Power would also require hammer down carry.All Galco holsters with safety straps and thumb breaks are designed to carry 1911-style pistols with the "hammer down, chamber empty." Galco 1911 fit holsters that are "open top" (no safety strap and no thumbreak)are designed to accommodate 1911's in all safe "conditions" specified by the firearm manufacturer.
Get a new holster.
Wow, you're right. I sure wouldn't buy one of these/those from Galco.
