Most dangerous way to carry a gun!

[Mattsbagger]

I think I might have possibly found the most unsafe,dangerous and negligent way to carry a gun. Even just stuffing it in your pants would probably be better!

Why do you say that?  Looks somewhat like a Yaqui slide.

I dunno ... If it goes off there the damage is more or less superficial.  In the town where I grew up, long ago and far away ... we had a former pro tour bowler who bought a bowling alley that kept getting broken into, and the police were at a loss to find out how or stop it.   So the owner decided to spend his nights there for awhile and catch the burglars.   One night he heard the burglars coming in through a ventilation shaft from the roof and went out to try to apprehend them - and in the process fired the pistol that he was keeping in the waistband of his slacks, removing parts of his anatomy.  He never had kids thereafter, and interestingly enough seems to have lost some of his vanity along with body parts as he shortly thereafter stopped wearing the toupee he had always worn previously.

Are you suggesting he blew his balls off? He must have left the safety off?

NOTE: The safest way to carry a gun...Is Unloaded. That is, don't keep one in the Chamber, and the safety ON.

Retention don't seem great to me for one thing. And I think it would be pretty accessible to someone behind you. And it's marketed as open carry. Like most things these are my opinion. Each his own I guess. The quality Yauqui slides I have seen have a retention screw on them also. "Shrug" I won't be using one of these is all I know.

Friend,

That isn't what Jeff Cooper taught—ergo it's wrong. A 1911A1—without that Browning blaspheming 80 series firing pin block—Carried Cocked-and-Locked—Is how a Warrior Carries.

Warriors yes, Everyday citizens...no

I knew this would come up....

I guess if you are some kind of a pansy butt, . . . pink parasol carrying wanna be dude, . . . an empty chamber and the safety on might be a good way to carry.

OTOH folks who understand guns, . . . safety, . . . threats, . . . and their own abilities, . . . realize that a 1911, cocked and locked is the safest form of firearm carry there is, . . . other than of course, . . . in the glove compartment of your wife's car.

May God bless,

Let's not get onto this argument guys. I am talking about this specific belt/carry system. Being little to no retention or ability to get a good grip as it's so far into the "holster". Also it looks like it's held together with rapid rivets. I carry Glocks so no safety my wife insists on a safety on her carry weapon. We are never all gonna agree on the one and only carry weapon,position, or caliber. Or even color.lol Saftey no safety loaded chamber empty chamber. This system seems TO ME to have not even the minimums a carry "system" should have.

I will say I would prefer the angle reversed, as well as the firearm itself for me. But that's me. Reaching behind my back isn't easy with my back problems, and painful.

I prefer the underarm cross draw.

All in all, it's just common sense.
