I think I saw it in Bill Jordan's book, No Second Place Winner, but there was a slotted clip that went onto the belt. The revolver had a screw replaced with an extended screw that would fit nicely into that slotted clip. Thus, the pistol could be suspended in the waist without a holster and since the clip was deep enough, you had to pull it up some distance before the gun could be removed. That design has not, in my opinion, been adopted to the 1911.

Even if it could somehow be adapted via replacing a grip screw, it would be a pain to shoot because it would protrude out of the grip. Second, the mere fact that the gun contacts the clothing (either pants or jacket) will ensure that some parts may lose their finish.

The only advantage of stainless is that it's easy to refinish. Blued guns cost more money to re-blue.
