Why don't they make bullet proof holsters so that if somebody accidently shoots in the holster they won't accidently shoot themselves? Also, my dad just died and left me some 1911 and I want to carry it, what holster should I use? I'm left handed.

>carrying a .45
Glad your dad died when he did

Open or concealed carry?
Also the only reason I can think of not to have a bulletproof holster is stopping the round that close to the barrel would probably fuck up your gun.

Someone raised this question the other day on the thread about the moron that shot himself in the groin and possibly did the Bruce to Caitlyn Jenner conversion at muzzle velocity. Let's leave aside the completely valid question of practicality or even feasibility of such a holster and all the reasons you *shouldn't* need it for a minute. I think if it was a question of accidentally putting a round in myself or fucking up my gun I'd rather fuck up my gun. Even rare guns are cheap compared to medical bills.

Right good point. So what makes it infeasible? Sure it would be really costly but certainly possible right?

What's wrong with 45? I was told it's good for carry cause it is powerful or something

Obviously you shouldn't use the same holster your dad used.

1911 is a handgun designed by sane people. it has a safety. use it. practice releasing it on the draw and setting it upon reholstering. Only glockfags who get confused by pistols with too many controls would need something like a bulletproof holster.

>bullet proof
+1 successful trolling

They're too big for me, but in my eyes carrying anything that doesn't have a manual safety is stupid.

How to be new

It probably wouldn't actually be very costly, but it would be very bulky and heavy.

Your best bet to make this happen would be making the holster out of thick steel, but you'd also need something on the inside so you aren't constantly rubbing your likely aluminum or polymer gun against steel. It would get thick, fast.

You could put one piece angled to deflect a bullet outward at the nose of the holster pretty easily, but that would be even less likely to help you than making the whole thing out of steel.

Basically, just don't carry a glock. Carry something with a manual safety that you can disengage with your thumb as part of your draw. Practice your draw and reengage it before holstering. Make it muscle memory. Make sure you can do it comfortably, ie no Beretta 92 unless you have king kong hands.

We've got at least 3 more months of summer.

Sell that range toy and get self defense worthy pistol you gonna carry every day. 1911 was meant for military open carry outside duty belt. Trying to hide one under your shirt and considering how heavy/big that thing is... and single action only + low capacity... just get sub compact 9mm any will do the trick.

I have a question for Jow Forums people who carry. I don't understand how people manage to shoot themselves drawing or holstering. It seems like it should be a simple thing to not put your finger on the trigger, I mean, there's probably some extremely rare cases of wardrobe malfunction causing a discharge but realistically, don't people practice this shit? Or do they just YOLO it?

You can't practice drawing in an actual dangerous situation.

>make bullet proof holsters
your dad should have taken you with him

45 is fine user, there is constant butthurt on Jow Forums if you don’t carry 10mm, do ignore it. It’s kind of a pricey round for what it is, but it dies the job fine. Go to the range and practice all you can, and sorry to hear about your dad. Mine left me an old 1911 too.

people carry 1911's with holsters?
they're practically made to just be tucked in your waistband

You are a giant fag.

It isn't even people shooting themselves in dangerous situations. It's people shooting themselves in mundane bullshit situations when they're practicing their draw and reholster, ironically in an attempt to train to not accidentally shoot themselves.

The common way it happens is that they press the trigger against something while returning it to the holster. This could be clothing, they could slip and it could be part of the holster itself, they could accidentally still have their finger inside, whatever. It can happen to people with great trigger discipline who have a wardrobe malfunction, and no amount of training can ever rule that out as a possible risk. Even if you wear the same holster and similar clothes everywhere, you can't 100% control where they go.

You can control if your manual safety is engaged. Unless you're carrying a Nambu-tier nuSig or some shit this precludes the possibility of you shooting yourself as long as you practice it. You don't practice this shit at the range, either, you do it at home with no ammo loaded.

Glocks are good guns in a lot of ways, but a trigger safety isn't a safety and the huge number of glock leg cases show that there are risks inherent in choosing to carry them. The argument is that the lack of a manual safety is one less thing to have to train for that might fuck you up in a real fight, but is that really a significant benefit? I don't think so, but it depends on your point of view.

>I'm left handed
When will this fucking meme die. Just use the other god damned hand. I can shoot both right handed, and left handed. i can eat with cutlery in either hand, etc. It's just fucking practice. Yeah, you suck at it for a few weeks or months, then it passes. Just because you fucked up and used the wrong hand because you are a spastic, doesn't mean you get to avoid fixing it, and compensating for it with special equipment. A british newspaper reported that 2500 people die every year from using equipment designed for RIGHT handed people. They died because they are dense snowflakes too stubborn to conform to a standard. Right also means correct, and it's no coincidence. I think maybe you should forget the pistol, made for the superior right handed people, and run around with a knife. If it gets boring, you can buy some left handed assault scisssors and practice on some left handed paper. Maybe you could make a business making hats for the left handed.

Pic related, it's a left handed sandwich.

Just bought a Galco iwb for my 1911. It was like $25, which is pretty good because Galco kicks ass.
