I have been carring a 1911 for years and I like to carry condition 1. A couple of years ago I switched from a colt MKIV to a kimber ultra carry. The Kimber has a extended safety and can not be put in a thumb break holster do to the fact that it disengages the safety. This has not been a problem do to the fact that I previously lived in NY and I carried concealed. When I moved to Louisiana I opted to open carry instead of paying to get a permit. I belive it would be irresponsible for me to open carry without retention. After looking all over to try to find a retention holster for my gun and even trying to have one custom made,I had no luck. I spoke to a representative from Galco and they suggested this holster.
Not being a big fan of plastic holsters I was apprehensive. Well it came in the other day and I got to say I am very impressed. The gun fits very well with no play. Retention is on the trigger guard and is very secure. It takes a little practice to draw but is not difficult. Bottom line is if you carry a 1911 condition 1 I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS HOLSTER!!
