How are you carrying full-size .45s?

I know you're supposed to carry a 1911 with the hammer cocked and the safety on but I could never get comfortable carrying a pistol with the hammer cocked. I have a DeSantis leather IWB with a retention strap that goes between the hammer and the frame. I don't carry the 1911 anymore because between the blued gun and the leather holster, I was cleaning rust off the gun every day after work.

I hear you, but there is both a thumb safety AND a grip safety it would have to be deliberate to make that gun go off.
 
Tenicore hands down the most comfortable for a 5” 1911 or 2011 for that matter if you don’t like it send it back won’t cost you anything
 
Cocked and locked.........1791 Gunleather open top OWB holster. 60 dollars on amazon. Works for all my 1911's.
