A thought and 10 minutes.......Done

Post by fortyshooter » Tue Jun 13, 2023 9:43 pm

Had my Ruger 1911 out today with the suppressor attached for some 45 plinking fun. Problem of course is how to carry it as it is way to long for
any of mine or regular holsters.
So this evening I remembered I had a polymer type Blackhawk holster for it that I bought some years ago that I hadn't used in a long time.
Found it took a look at what might be needed to be done to work with the suppressor and Ding the light went on! Ten minutes of work and now the 1911 slides right out forward after depressing the lock button that locks it in place at the trigger guard! Cool! :D

Now a slick way to carry it!

Now that’s what I would call a real “hog leg” :lol:

That’s good work and a pretty simple fix. Very clever to use the trigger guard lock

Thanks! It is very quick and smooth to draw with just button flick and an upward and forward sweep. Maybe a simple clip on sleeve made with denim to disguise the silencer to blend in a bit!

You're likely the only one on the planet that has thought this up. Nicely done! :) No doubt the same thing could be done with other semi's.
