1911 CC Holster

[Mr.357Sig]

I'm picking up my Ruger SR1911 soon. After breaking it in, I planning on adding it to the CC rotation. The SR1911, in case you don't know, is a full-size Colt clone.

I currently carry a Glock 31 in a Blackhawk CQC. Up until last week, I carried a Kahr CW45 in a Looper 2-slot Open OWB. I will probably carry the Ruger OWB as well. But, I'm not opposed to IWB carry like Comp-Tac and Crossbreed.

This needs to be an every day holster. I'm not looking for a BBQ rig. I like the quickness of kydex, but love the way leather wraps around your hip. I like two-slot holsters and they need to cover the entire slide, no Yaquis for EDC. Since it's a smooth, stainless steel finish, I'll probably go with leather.

I'd like to keep it under $150.

Holsters I'm leaning toward are:

UBG Bonneville ($70.00)
High Noon Slide Guard ($150 in horsehide)
R. Grizzle CB ($85.00) *9-10 week turnaround - yikes.
Looper 2-slot Open ($55.00)
D.M. Bullard Combat Holster ($85.00) *16-20 weeks lead time - holy crap.
Milt Sparks CC-AT ($118.00)
Del Fatti LP ($145.00)
Mitch Rosen 5JR-Pres-FD ($145.00)

I'm sure you guys have some opinions.

Get the Looper to hold you over till you can get one of the long lead time ones that tickles your fancy. I carry my 5" 1911 in a VERY well worn Milt Sparks EX that I picked up with a matching IWB mag pouch for $50. No wait time, no break in period and it was on my doorstep in 3 days!

 

[Mr.357Sig]

Good thinkin', Glock. Some of those lead times on the purdy ones are jaw-dropping.

I know there's a bunch of you that carry 1911s. Jump in. Opine below.

The Galco Combat Master is one of my very favorite scabbards.

 

[Mr.357Sig]

Thanks GED. I like the sound of "combat master".

Galco has a great website. Pick your gun and it gives you the best options in their lineup. Sweet.

I'll add Galco to the list.

I love all of my High Noon holsters including the slide guard, but the lead time was every bit as long as they said. I also have a Bare Asset IWB from High Noon for my SR1911 that is a "stocking" item.

Go see Josh at Little Joe's Boots in Stockyards and have him make you a nice custom holster, belt, mag pouch combo. Good prices and great craftsman.
