I carry both IWB/OWB depending on weather/clothing. I prefer OWB but it is not always practical. IWB, I carry a Milt Sparks Versa Max 11 or A Lansco COTEP from Lane. OWB I wear a Milt Sparks, Axiom or a Davis leather Omega.I always, repeat always carry cocked and locked. It feels off at first and you will surely get comments from people that may see it and don't know better. I have done some research and as far as I can find, in over 100 years I could not find a documented case of an AD/ND from a properly holstered 1911 on safe. I'm not saying it couldn't have happened, I just couldn't find one. I have enough confidence in the triple redundant safety to carry it cocked and locked. I have some pretty light triggers, if they are so light that they may cause an AD/ND I would consider them nonfunctional, and not safe to carry in any condition. IMHO
