    I for one (a working guy) am a die hard republican & most that I know are. The old timers like my mom & her generation feel that the dem's are "for the poor working class". By most nationwide standards, I'm a poor guy as well, but surely don't like the current socialistic ideas that the dems are throwing around.

    I'm in Georgia and I have been carrying since I moved here in 2007. I open carry most of the time because of my size it tends to be more difficult to conceal. I carry either a Glock 26 or a Ruger LCP

    Love the 26, especially after I modded it out with firing pin spring, extended mag and slide release and the lighter conecting bar. I didn't know georgia could open carry.

    Nice man, sounds good! Yea, in Georgia the license is just a Georgia Firearms License and you are allowed to open carry. I saw on some carry forums some people were complaining that the police sometimes question them when they open carry. IMO when I walk down the street and the police question me, it makes me feel like they are doing a good job and I like that. Take care bud!

    This week I went out and did some holster work and then just spent some time carrying on the farm. I've been faced with the conclusion that I almost made a mistake. I had planned on purchasing either a glock 22 or 23 for my first ccw, but realized after trying 3 differant holsters with both guns (my father owns one of each) that carrying a flock wasn't for me. It was uncomfortable and awkward (keep in mind I've been carrying a fixed blade in the same place for years) and just wasnt going to cut it. So after about 6 hours of carrying it I tried an old Norico 1911. I found it to be much less uncomfortable and less awkward even though the holster was designed for the glock. Now I'm looking at a Remington R1 that I handled a couple of months back. Does anyone have any tips for carrying a full size 1911? Any holster for SOB or behind the hip carry (I'm too thin for 3 o'clock carry) ?
    No that pistol isn't the only thing under my kilt, but I can tell you both of them work just fine

    The leather/kydex hybrid holster are commonly recommended. My dad uses a Comp-tac MTAC for his Champion-size 1911.

    I prefer all leather Kramer holsters, but I don't carry a 1911.

    Hve you considered AIWB (appendix-in-waistband)? Hides surprisingly well, even underneath a slightly baggy t-shirt, and I've heard from many skinny, or at least flat-bellied, guys that they find it quite comfortable. It's also a super-fast draw... Dale Fricke holsters like the Archangel or Ehud are good examples of this style.

    Otherwise, for carry from the 3 to the 5 position I like the good old yaqui slide holsters, especially for 1911s. Galco's is pretty decent, but there are many other good ones out there as well.

    I carry my 1911's (10mm & .45) sob quite a bit when wearing jeans. Summer months you have to really take care of them if they are blued due to sweat, I am quite sure that my next one will be stainless. I've seen some sort of clip=thing that you can attach to the pistol & carry IWB, but have no experience with them. As far as holsters, I know Galco makes one for sob that I was looking at. I currently use a DeSantis 3 slot holster with thumb break for my 1911's for when I can cover with a light jacket or long tailed shirt.

    I've seen the clip thing and it look quite clever. I can't believe it is comfortable though.

    Before I got this DeSantis with a flap to cover the safety, it and the sight would dig into my side.
