i’m left handed and have a 1911 with only single sided safety lever. As normal it is on the left side. If the pistol is in condition 1 in a OWB holster what is the safer way to draw it? I can flick the safety off as my thumb passes it on the way to gripping the pistol while it is still in the holster. Or I can wait to flick off the safety on the way up to eye level or until I have the pistol up at eye level. Because of being left handed, it is much easier for me to flick off the safety as my thumb passes by the pistol in the holster. Is this considered safe? I keep my trigger finger outside the trigger guard until I have a sight picture established.
