Background: I shoot Steel Challenge with a 9mm 1911 and had been carrying HK (P2000, P20SK) both OWB and IWB. I decided if my life depended on it I would rather be presenting a 1911 so bought a Staccato C. The gun is accurate, decent trigger and easy to conceal. The "rub" relates to safety manipulation. My surrender draw from a BladeTech has my thumb over safety, safety off during press out. I've done this >10K times. IWB from a recently purchased Tenicor holster I can't establish a grip with my thumb over safety so I'm having to shift my strong hand once my weak hand makes contact both in terms of getting on top of the safety and improving the wrap of my right hand.
I'll practice a good deal and can certainly mange to get self-defense effective, but short of going OWB with some offset, hardly a stealth configuration, I'll believe I'll have to live with what appears to be a compromise.
I'll note that before Tenicor send to close loops I had tried the metal clips AIWB and I'm going to start working that means in dry fire; appears much easier to establish a good grip versus the hip-hugging 4 o'clock location. Observations and suggestions would be much appreciated.
