I'm always concealed, even with the OWB.
Pancake holsters like the CarryLok are easy to cover with a jacket, windbreaker, or even a t-shirt and secure the weapon up higher above your waist. My point was that I don't feel comfortable carrying a 1911 cocked 'n locked in an IWB holster. Between your body, a belt, and layers of clothing, there's too much opportunity for movement that could disengage the safety. Safety accidentally disengaged, bump the grip safety with your elbow, pressure applied to a light trigger and next thing you know YOU"RE the one that's half cocked...
Itsricmo said:There in lies the problem.. I wear medium shirts and they aren't too baggy, just as well they aren't exactly tight or form fitting but I think the 1911 would print in the summer... I guess I may have to consider getting used to Large shirts if I ultimately decide to CCW a 1911... The sacrifices we make, right?

A few have caught me off guard lately by posting new "no carry" signs after recent events. I just turn around and head somewhere else. I carry in WalMart all the time and nobody's ever said a thing, but I am in a pretty gun friendly state though...
Itsricmo said:Man.. PA is pretty firearm friendly and we are the ones that cannot carry in stores lol
I will probably give it a whirl regardless what firearm I end up with...
Tom, if I am correct, 4 o'clock would be slightly behind your right side, that holster looks awfully flat, does it flex to contour torso?
tomservo92 said:Yes, 4 o'clock is just behind the right hip. The leather flexes very well and quite comfortable.
