How are you carrying full-size .45s?

I know you're supposed to carry a 1911 with the hammer cocked and the safety on but I could never get comfortable carrying a pistol with the hammer cocked. I have a DeSantis leather IWB with a retention strap that goes between the hammer and the frame. I don't carry the 1911 anymore because between the blued gun and the leather holster, I was cleaning rust off the gun every day after work.

I hear you, but there is both a thumb safety AND a grip safety it would have to be deliberate to make that gun go off.

I used a Milt Sparks "Summer Special".

If you can’t carry a 1911 cocked and locked without shitting your pants…well…

Tenicore hands down the most comfortable for a 5” 1911 or 2011 for that matter if you don’t like it send it back won’t cost you anything

I EDC'd a G21 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special for many years.

Milt Sparks makes an amazing, old school holster.
