I use the Serpa for OWB and a CBST for IWB. Always condition 1. The Taurus is a series 80 1911, thereby having a firing pin block, so unless you somehow manage to wedge the grip safety down *and* pull the trigger all the same time through some bizarre tragic coincidence the odds of a ND are less than minimal IMO. You could bang on the firing pin and it won't set the chambered round off.

That said, I'm still not comfortable carrying with the primary (thumb) safety in the off position, mostly because Murphy's Law sucks and if there's a way for something to go wrong I'll find it.

I use C5 Leather's Montana rig for my 1911. It is convertible from CC to OC. Never had a problem with the safety.

That's a nice lookin' rig. Thanks for the link, I may just have to amble over there and check pricing/availability. Lord knows I'd prefer an all leather IWB to a open bottom leather/kydex hybrid (slide bite hurts<g>).
