My full size has an ambi and rides strongside in a Sideguard Snap. My officer sized one has single side and rides in a Sideguard Cross Guard when it's desk day or a travel day.
It's easy enough to manipulate a left sided thumb safety with the trigger finger of your left hand, a little bit a practice is all it takes to become comfortable with it. Your opponents will never see it coming.I don't carry one, but I have trained with it, including holster carry and draw from holster.
I need ambidextrous thumb lever, period!
Opponents won't give me a time out when I shoot with my left hand.

ruffinit said:First, do you have a single sided or ambi safety on your carry piece? I would like to hear the pros and cons that folks have run into with either style.
ruffinit said:Second, what holster rig are you using with your 1911? I am a big guy, so I can get away with waist carry, but am also considering a shoulder rig for motorcycle or car trip carry. Thoughts and experiences are appreciated.
I carried a Kimber CDP Pro w/ a Milt Sparks WM II (IWB) with an Ambi Safety as my EDC for years and never had a unwanted safety disengagement.
