Thanks Mike, I appreciate it. I will study this and practice it. Without a doubt, I would rather carry in condition 1, and do the standard thing. I just need to be able to guarantee to myself that the thumb safety will be snicked on the draw if things ever get ugly.

Just didn't want to put off carrying the 1911 any longer, so I'm compromising. But, I will work on it.

I have both, steel (RIA) and aluminum (Sig) framed ultra compacts and the steel (RIA) is very noticeably heavier and more cumbersome to carry. Not sure why, buy the Rock compact has more perceived recoil than the Sig. The Rock makes the web of my right hand sore after a box or so of ammo. I can shoot the Sig all day without discomfort.
