interesting. care to elaborate?I carry on either side as the place I am going to dictates.
I'm right handed, but I practice with my left hand just in case my right hand/arm becomes inoperable. In which case if I carry cocked and locked. Without the ambitious safety it would definitely slow the process down a lot. It's bad enough getting your firearm drawn-out of the holster with my left hand having to deal with a safety is just another second or two I may not have.I was just wondering how many of you left handed 1911 shooters have intentionally purchased one with an ambidextrous safety or have installed one.
I am not who you asked, but I do switch holster position to the left hip, butt forward. I use that when I am spending a lot of time driving in city traffic. I cannot smoothly draw from the right hip in a car with a seat belt on. I can smoothly cross draw.interesting. care to elaborate?
Definitely a good idea if you drive a lotI am not who you asked, but I do switch holster position to the left hip, butt forward. I use that when I am spending a lot of time driving in city traffic. I cannot smoothly draw from the right hip in a car with a seat belt on. I can smoothly cross draw.
Two weeks ago, I spent $55 and 3 hours of my life to remove the ambi and fit and blend a single-sided safety to my SA loaded. I hate them. I've had them get bumped and disengage the safety in the holster, and I've had them get bumped on during a string of fire.since no lefties have chimed in, as a right-handed shooter, I don't like ambi-safeties.

If doing a long drive, doing ballroom dancing, if my .32 isn't in the left pocket. If I plain an activity that will use my right side most it goes to the left side. A shoulder holster holster is used if there is going to be a lot of setting. I am ambudextris (sp), most of my brothers and sisters were left hand as was my mom. The schools made you use your right hand so I had lots of training.
Playing cowboys and Indians I would draw with either hand. Both brothers were left handed but they use right hand to shoot with.
Parents doing this? How old is he?Since you are ambidextrous, with lefty brothers, you might help me figure something out. The little neighbor boy is being made to write left handed. I don't know how they determined that to be correct. His penmanship is horrible, and they make him practice writing all the time. He hates e extra practice. I watch the kids play. He pushes toy cars with his right hand, he picks up things with his right hand. When the kids play sword games with sticks, he holds it in his right hand. When he climbs the ladder, he leads with his right hand and right foot. When he hits another kid it is with his right fist. Would you think he is a lefty? I know I need to stay out of it, it isn't my kid. I just kind of feel sorry when they yell at him.
Back in the day, I heard of strict parents forcing their left-handed child to do things right-handed but this is a first. Seems like a very cruel thing to do.Since you are ambidextrous, with lefty brothers, you might help me figure something out. The little neighbor boy is being made to write left handed.
