Cocked and locked carry for 1911s - Lefty option
Since you are a lefty, like myself, and have installed an ambi safety, now cut the left side off and shape it down like the original Colt safety. that big lever sticking out is what catches and disengages the safety while carrying.
Ive been carrying a 1911 for 15 years and is was always coming off safe until I cut it down.
The right side(for a lefthander) I left extended and it is up against leather so it is fine being oversized.
