Two of the FBI agents lost their guns by taking them out of the holster and putting them on the seat just before the very short chase... Agent Manauzzi lost his when he used his vehicle to force Platt and Matix off the road and into the parking lot of the duplex. He did not have a backup weapon. Agent Hanlon lost his weapon when the car he and Mirelis crashed into a wall across the street from the shootout. He did have a 5-shot chief as a backup and was later shot in the hand and groin by Platt.

Since the late 1970s I've carried a 1911 IWB butt forward at about the 0830-0900 position in a lightweight holster...now using a RAMORA. When seated I draw with the left hand and either shoot left handed or pass the gun to my right hand depending which direction I have to shoot.


There is no one right way to do things...just the best one for you..just make sure it works before you have to use it...
