Re: Yikes! Thumb safety moved from safe to fire, twice!

I find this post very interesting so I tried to disengage the safety on my 2 1911"s while holstered, they are the only guns I own that have safety's on them. I was unable to get either one of them off while holstered without a lot of effort. It makes me wonder about the holster and the actual fit of the gun in it, if the gun can move in the holster then I can see how it could become accidently disengaged.

The holsters I use are TT Gunleather IWB or a Zlogonje OWB, both have a "notch" that has appeared from break-in where the safety sits so it would be almost impossible to bump the safety off. Understanding that holsters are personal preference I have mine made of all leather to custom fit the specific gun, the cost is not that much more than the generic models that fit many different types.

I may have siezures if my nice guns were ever placed in a piece of plastic (kydex).
