Interestingly enough, both of the gentlemen who I sold those items to, have posted in this thread already!!

I now carry a Sig P229 w/o an external safety locked and loaded. Awareness and safe handling should eliminate 99.999% of the situations where you could get yourself in trouble.

The Tucker Answer is the holster I'm probably going to buy. I spoke with Rob yesterday and he recommended the bullhide belt for the IWB holsters. I was curious, do you have and/or sell the Tucker products? I can't tell from your post. If so, I'd love to see one and try it on. I'm currently working in Rockwall and it would be convenient for me.

No one has any input on the holsters I asked about?

OK, thanks for everyone's input.

The one's I'm considering are:

1) Tucker "Answer" with the V-Clips. Seems to be the best of both worlds between Kydex and leather. And you absolutely cannot argue with their warranty. Lead time sucks though. Pricing for holster, double mag pouch and belt is $284.

2) Broomeland Max Con V. Looks to be an excellent all leather holster. Not sure on lead time. Pricing for holster, double mag pouch and belt is $265.

3) Comp-Tac Infidel or C-TAC. Would really like some feedback on these and why you would choose one over the other.

Is there any advantage to Kydex over leather?

Mr Drummy--

That's a nice looking setup there and I know Gary makes a fine product. I will definitely have to look into them. I don't think the grips will be a factor from the pics you have there.

I'm new to CC and I have a question. Do you guys feel 100% safe carrying condition 1? I know that's the only logical way to carry a 1911 and I told myself I'd be comfortable doing it, but now I'm beginning to get butterflies knowing that I have a loaded and cocked weapon with a 4-5# trigger on my hip all the time. I've gotten used to carrying my XD and am very comfortable with it. Does it get better with time?

I guess I'm just trying to reassure myself that I didn't make a almost $1k purchase of a gun that I'm not going to be comfortable carrying.

I recently purchased a Kimber Ultra Carry with the CT lasergrips on it. I'm looking for some good holster recommendations for it with one of the things being very important is maintaining the safety. By that I mean I will carry the weapon in condition 1 and I want to make sure while the gun is in the holster, I want the safety to be on. Looking for recommendations on both OWB & IWB.
