I just got three VersaCarry in the mail today. The instructions state not to carry with a round chambered nor cocked and locked. I'm very adept at draw and rack, but really, is it that unsafe (especially for 1911s)? Opinions, advice?

VersaCarry Question
- Thread starter KassenKlamber
- Start date
TY b.a.customkydex. Of course, it does not stay in the barrel when I draw, but it could break off or come loose. Do you make something that would be better/safer but still good for deep concealment?
what made you chose this particular type carry for?
I work in a kitchen.
You gotta use what you feel comfortable with. I personally don't like IWB holsters. simply a comfort issue with me. Good luck with it.
I like the simplicity. I wear three layers of clothes (undershirt, over shirt, and an apron). It gets really hot and, by the end of a shift, a leather holster is soaked. I find plastic holsters uncomfortable and bulky, so I figured I'd give this a try. OWB is not an option as I have to change my over shirt at work and it would become exposed which is a no-no.
You can actually shoot a 'stuck' in the barrel VersaCarry right out on the first shot....IF....that should ever be required, which is rather highly unlikely. The fears regarding such are rather unfounded. This holster works quite well. I just cant get comfortable with any IWB setup. I have one of these for a small 9 mm etc but need to find someone that wants it.
As to this question....their recommendation/instructions are merely a CYOA legal move. No one is really expected to carry a concealed weapon without one in the chamber. The biggest risk with a VersaCarry IMO is using it without the trigger guard.
