Proof Of Concept : W.g.'s1911 Pattern Modifications

[SandSquid]

Been slowly working my way through the Will Ghormley 100 year 1911 pattern pack, and one thing I really DON'T like is that all his triggers are exposed.

So for my "Hugger" pattern I decided to use his pattern as a base and branch out on my own.

Wills:

My changes:

I plan to use it for my EDC over the next few days/weeks and see how it works out before committing to the final design. but so far, I like it.

Good concept....now your thinking..........

wear test progressing well:

No failures after:

• Gardening and landscaping yard.
• Napping on couch
• Trip to Starbucks for whole beans.
• Trip to local Middle Easter market for fresh pita.
• Finishing the perimeter Zombie_Proof© fence around the castle.
• Napping in the recliner.

I do see the obvious need for the toe-plug, if you are going to be sitting and weeding the grapevines while wearing your weapon:

Thought the strap stays in place just fine without it, I may just go ahead and install the snap hardware on the thumb break and continue using this one while I work on SWMBO's lefty model.
