I just read the article abiut Matt, I wish him a quick recovery. There are two things that come to mind. I have been a part time concealed carrier for about 20 years. I have carried full time for about 10. why wi went from part time to full time, is a different story. Yes a model specific molded carry holster goes along way to solve this problem. I carry a Cross Breed leather Kydex. Works well, is comfortable and I have had absoutly no issues. The second is the firearm itself. I carry what some feel is a dinasour. I carry a 1911 45. Because of the manual safety and the grip safety it is much less likly to have a neglegent discharge then most guns. Yes I carry with a round in the chamber and will continue to do so. because of the combination of firarm and holster, this kind of discharge in nearly inpossible. CKeep your gear in good shape. Never take for granted the condition of your firearm and use a firearm that has multiple levels of safeties.
