I purchased a Bianchi Black Widow Model 5 for my Kimber 1911 online. After trying it, I realized that it drops the safety off when you snap it shut. I called Bianchi and was told that NONE of their holsters are made to carry cocked & locked. The hammer must be down to use correctly. I informed them they should probably post that somewhere on their products or website. The man agreed 100%. Just thought I would pass this info along.
