I open carry almost daily. I do have limits on how I can carry due to work policies and some social events. I usually keep the strong side arm touching the top of my pistol when I am in crowded public areas. I know I need to expand on the training I have had with more of the same plus some in retention.
I carry in a slide. Fullsize 1911 fills the holster. Snug fit that resists a correct strait draw is much more difficult if the draw includes pressures counter or cross from the correct strait out motion. No other devices or other impediments stand in the way of someone taking this from me.

Also I do turn my body away from people in public who are or will be in close proximity to me. If my senses give me alarm I will be leaving.

No one has ever attempted to take my piece from the holster and me.
Any attempt will result in swinging and counter up to and including drawing the weapon. There will be no miss-understanding of what an assault is.

I voted at the thread on THR.
