Mexican carry w/ grip safety

[METL]

What are people's opinions on mexican carry with a grip safety? I'm planning on getting a holster, but I"m having a little trouble finding one just yet... just wanted to bounce that off people... I would think the only real problem would be 'holstering' the firearm... one would have to be very careful with that... but I tried it out (cleared) and it's a TIGHT fit on my hip (just like IWB at 3-4 o'clock but no holster) and the gun has a grip safety as well as a trigger safety....

2+ heads are better than one, so I figured I'd ask the question.


Thanks.

I would not carry that way. Still too many possible things to go wrong, grip safety or no.

There are many---many--- things that can go wrong using "Mexican" carry

- Gun dropping out of belt
- Gun dropping down inside pants
- Front sight catching on clothes or belt when you try to draw
- Increased opportunity to have your pistol snatched
- Hammer (if it has one) catching on clothing
- Magazine release being depressed by belt or clothing
- Gun being out of position or angle when you want to draw
- Thumb safety (if it has one) being deactivated by belt or clothing


On----and---On

The BOLDED ones are good ones... thanks for the help. I hadn't considered them.

As far as dropping out, it is TIGHT and the handle goes over top of my belt, so that wouldn't be an issue... I don't think coming OUT would be either unless it was VERY vigorous activity.

Striker fired... no thumb safety (trigger and grip safeties) and the angle is actually really good for my draw.

I'm thinking I won't be doing it though.

I guess I probably won't do it... and this is exactly why I asked the question... I knew people would bring up some things I had not considered. Thanks people...

I have a solution for you.

Front sights and mag releases catching on clothing is a non-issue.

Loose weight and carry at your desecration.

Oh man... that is sweet!!!! I think that might be the trick...

I purchased this today: Desantis invisible agent

But it kinda sucks... (for me) it's tuckable, which is cool, but it doesn't have the right cant for me.... (for sale if anyone wants it... left handed $20 shipped) IT's more meant for appendix carry I think...

Loose weight and carry at your description.

I don't know what this means.. I weigh 180 and wear size 33 pants.. fit is not an issue.. fit of the GUN, in the holster is my main issue at this point.
