One of the benefits of the SmartCarry holster is that there are two really great solutions to dealing with your carry weapon without having to remove it. Some just pull it up to their chest. I prefer the method of moving it down to my knees and cover it with my pants. I don't like my pants on the floor anyway. Also, drawing is easy with it hanging between my knees while I feel quite vulnerable sitting on the toilet.
Reference the photo of the guys with their pants down, they are probably European, as European-style underwear does not have a fly. When I was a deputy and just absolutely had to use a public facility, I would unsnap my keepers and hang my duty belt on the coat hook on the door, this put my weapon in arm's reach. After I left and had a CCWP, I would hang my compact .45 on the coat hook by the trigger guard. Not as handy, but doable. My holster is a bandaid slide holster that is just about two inches top to bottm, and if the tension of being against my body is not there, it could possibly fall out, so I make sure it is not put in that position.
I don't understand what is dangerous about it. The weight distribution of the weapon makes it hang very much butt down. It would take one heck of an impact on the door to shake the weapon off the hook, and I can get my hands on my weapon in just about a second, should I need to. I developed this method of hanging my weapon up after trying just about everything else I could think of and finding nothing as good.
There is no way the trigger could be accidentally depressed by the hook? I am only curious because when I first read this the first thing that went through my mind was accidental discharge. If you say there is no way of this happening then I will believe you. I am with tatted that this does sound dangerous.
Obviously, you folks did not read my post very closely. When you hang a compact .45 pistol on a coat hook, the weight of the butt, with the ammo and magazine in it, the barrel points almost straight up at the ceiling. I also carry with the hammer down, and thumb-cock it if needed as I draw. I challenge anyone to hang a Star M-45 on a coat hook and in the condition I describe, and have an AD. If you can do it, I will buy you dinner and begin using whatever method you use. I Have been using this method for approximately 14 years, and have yet to have a mishap. In addition, there is no chance of forgetting my piece, because when I stand up, the weapon is at my eye level and I am looking right at it. I would have to be really in Condition white to look right at it and forget it is hanging there. Please, give me the credit for brains that I give you. As I said, I developed this after much thought and trying several different methods, most of which were already mentioned. They did not work for me, this does.
