I had a thumb-break Bianchi Yanqui Slide holster left over from my Detonics' days. I was quite distressed to find that the strap depressed the ambidextrous safeties enough on the Kimber to disengage them.
In doing research I sought out a Bianchi product (I think they make some of the best quality products I've used) that locked the pistol securely into place, but did not touch the safety levers or the laser optics pad. I chose the model shown below.
It has a unique latch locking the pistol by the trigger guard. The detachment lever does not have to be depressed to re-holster the pistol, it drops easily into place. By laying your fingers against the lever on the draw, the Kimber slides effortlessly into the hand. Easy in, easy out, secure at all times.
I still want to run another +/-100 rounds through the Kimber, but I think this combo is a winner.
