Sharpshooter
OK, So I picked up a Colt Mustang from the 90's with an alloy frame. I know the calibre is not so popular for personal protection, but I am a Colt fan and the price was right. Anyway, this thing is a single action, much like a 1911 but the safety is not positive. What I mean is that the safety comes off really easy as it appears there is nothing in the design to encourage it to stay put when activated.
So here is my concern. This thing is tiny. A real pocket pistol. But I am not real comfortable putting a single action pistol in my pocket with a safety that may or may not stay put.
Options I can think of might be having a pocket holster to help me keep my finger out of where it does not belong or perhaps carrying it 'hammer down' on a loaded chamber and cocking it when put into play. I would not consider carrying it without one in the pipe.
Anybody ever carry one of these? If you did, how did you carry it and did you ever find that the safety came off on it's own?
