Great holster. Very comfortable.

You don't have to buy Tucker's belt and mag pouch. For IWB, a Bianchi nylon mag pouch will do as well for less than $25. For belts, folks here have recommended http://www.thebeltman.net.

Save Tucker's belt and mag pouch for when you order one of his fabulous HF1 rigs.

But there are some makers that have good quality belts for as little as $30-40.

Kydex offers faster presentation and easier reholstering. It does wear finish faster than leather.

Trying to cock the hammer in a tense situation is asking for an ND.

The grip safety might or might not be depressed while doing this, so you have NO safeguards.

DON'T!!!! This is absolutely the most dangerous thing you could do.

Either get comfortable with carrying the 1911 cocked and locked or get another carry gun.

Avoid any holster with a thumb break.

While it appears to offer the added safety of the strap preventing the hammer fall, I have seen thumb breaks that would disengage the slide safety during normal wear.
