Finally a well dressed Wal-Mart shopper

[Streetgang]

Am I the only one who doesn't care if its Wal-Mart, Shoppers or Food Lion.

The point is she's allowed to open carry!
EDIT: And it sure as hell isn't Marylandistan.

The Israeli Method is pretty impressive...

Any idea as to why only using three rounds in the mag?

He's running a drill no reason for a full mag.

That was my initial thought, but then the mag switch also loaded with only three rounds. Probably a specific drill too, I just found it peculiar, that's all.

Shelf stickers don't lie.

Zoom in more:

If the mild is $12/gal and bread is $6 bucks, it IS Alaska!

I came here to say the same thing. I mean, I dig the woman open carrying a 1911, but that is either not, or must be the nicest looking Walmart I've ever seen. Plus there isn't an overabundance of slow walkers clogging up the aisles...

That's because it's not in a crime laden, crap hole somewhere that the people don't work, instead just vote for Obama and mooch of the government handouts.

Well, he could've shot 1 slide lock 1 to practice reloads, but then he wouldnt have to practice managing recoil between shots and stay on target, which is why 2 reload 2 can be a better drill in some cases. Shooting 3 reload 3 gets you out of habit of double tapping perhaps.

Similar to VA.... I often joke that I can sympathize with Mexico..... America is just right across the river (Potomac<>Rio Grande)

Bravo. I'll live in America one day.

Are you sure that's a Walmart? Looks too nice.

And there's more than 5' of space between aisles.

Its one of those super Walmarts. I went to one in Latrobe Penn and it looks just like that, clean floors and all.

It's amazing in America. Humans live there who don't trash everything they see and can be trusted with rights.

Condition 3 carry?

I noticed it as well. Many people prefer condition 3 carry for a 1911. It's a personal decision no different than everyone choosing the model/brand/caliber gun they will carry.

The key to any carry is to train as you would fight. If she has trained to draw and rack the slide in one fluid motion. She should be able to deploy the firearm very quickly.

The IDF (Israeli Defense Force) trains to use condition 3 with all firearms unless engaged in active combat. It is an effective way to carry but it requires intensive and regular training and practice.

Or hammer down on a live round. You can always thumb the hammer that is why God put it there.

another good thing is people DONT have the right of way in crosswalks/roads etc..

And if dropped or struck the gun could go off accidentally. Never carry a 1911 with the hammer down on a loaded chamber!

Guess that is why I don't have a 1911. But all of those who scream about DA/SA trigger pulls just need to learn why God Gave them a thumb. I do think hammer down(with a good holster not in a waistband) is safer than cocked and locked carry IMO.

Am I the only one looking at the rack above the gun?

Not the only one....:thumbup:

I'm going with it being in AZ, and not a Wally's...

Kern's juice is a SoCal company, the "California 1" sign screams southwest,, and the shelf tags--though close--are not Walmart

Think about how you need to lower that hammer one time. It was designed to be carried "cocked and locked" I believe that is the safest way to do It (considering the time you may need to use it in a hurry)

In Va somewhere......

 

[clandestine]

She is carrying in a Serpa. Perhaps she knows the issues with the holster this the carrying condition.

 

[BradMacc82]

She is carrying in a Serpa. Perhaps she knows the issues with the holster thus the carrying condition.

Excellent angle that no one brought up.

My thigh holster is a level3 serpa. No issues whatsoever. All my waist side holsters are safariland.

Unfamiliar with the Lvl 3 Serpa's, what style of lock do they use?

Rotating hood and finger release or other?

If that Holster is issued to you, then you have to make due with what they give out. Same as for a Service Weapon.

My point is there are known safety issues with serpas. We can battle about the cause and say its a bad design, or a training issue. Truth is that there is a lot of training schools that don't allow them for these reasons. IMO they are chosen because they are more affordable compared other options.

The Woman in the picture is carrying a 1911 which tells me she is not a novice, which also means she may be aware of the safety possibility issues with the Serpa.

IMO the Serpa is LESS prone to cause an accident on a C&L weapon because after the draw is when the safety is removed. On guns like SIGS, and Glocks where there is no manual safety the possibility of an accident is amplified.


I use good holsters because I have a choice and the means to acquire the best gear. Serpas are not one of them nor is any Blackhawk gear.
