Well guys, I have found that several layers of electrical tape put over the left side "lightening cuts" of the weapon (1911 SC Roundbutt Performance Center) prevent the ALS from hanging up during the draw.

I have actually become so confident of the holster and the draw that I have begun to open carry it a bit where possible. I have found that I no longer disengage the safety during the draw. *At first I disengaged it about 50 percent of the time during the draw.

*That 50 percent may continue with pants, tonight I've been practicing drawing wearing shorts, maybe the clothing design plays a role.

I may even get that locking bar for this holster....forget what it's called. It goes over the release lever to prevent a draw at all but I'm fearful I'd leave it on at the worst time.
