How do you carry...

[SCORPIO]

For those who carry a 1911, what method do you like best and why (IWB/OWB) etc? Also, what holster do you use for this? Lastly, do you carry 'cocked and locked' or do you thumb the hammer down and carry 'uncocked'? Or do you carry empty chamber?

I'm going to start carrying a 1911 now that winter is here, and as I've never carried one before, I thought I'd do a survey. I usually carry either a SigP250 in 9mm or 40S&W IWB or a Ruger LCP 380 in summer usually pocket carry. I'm moving to winter mode as colthing will permit good concealment for the larger platform. Since my other guns striker fired DAO I'm not used to dealing with the exposed hammer. Carrying cocked and on safe scares me a little with the light triggers on my Dan Wessons. I'm thinking about carrying a round in the chamber but thumbing down the hammer and just cocking it if I need it.

OK, lets hear your methods.
Thanks
