1911 holster

[John1808]

Looking for input on IWB and OWB holster for a 1911. Never had an IWB holster so im not sure what to look for.

Depends on how much you want to spend and how long you want to wait. Galco has some good off the shelf IWB holsters, to include a Milt Sparks Summer Special knockoff. My favorite is the Milt Sparks Executive's Companion (EX). Comp-Tac also has some nice kydex and hybrid IWB holsters if you're willing to use kydex.

My favorite for a 1911 is the SSII. Brownells has them in stock so you don't have to wait or get a knock off. http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=9922/Product/SEMI-AUTO-SUMMER-SPECIAL-2

Agreed. The Summer Special II is as good as it gets for the 1911.

I've got a Tucker Gunleather Silent Thunder that I can't say enough good about. It's not cheap but if it's not comfrotable, you're not going to carry it. It's a leather lined kydex holster, best of both worlds.

I use a Bianchi Carrylok.......I like the idea of the open top with some retention. The button is easy to use, goes with your natural grip....

thanks for the input.

I'm a fan of High Noon, Looper and R. Grizzle holsters. Looper holsters can be purchased in person just up the road at H&H in OKC.

I got a Crossbreed SuperTuck for my 1911 Colt and like it a lot. It's kydex and leather. It's confortable for all day wear. They are made in Missouri and
take awhile to get after you order. You might check them out too.

I've been carrying a full size 1911 in one of these for years: Bianchi Pro 100 and have no complaints. Carried it all day yesterday while on an OKC adventure, ipso facto. haha

I bought the Desantis version of a "Super Tuck" for a different gun and I hate it! The holster itself is fine & all, but taking it off literally makes me angry. The clips are just too damn strong.

The inexpensive Bianchi is easy on & off and stays put. Paid under fifty bucks for it. The main feature I was looking for in an IWB was the "skin flap" as I like to call it. It's that all important piece of leather that sits between you and the iron. Protects you from the pointy bits.

I've never had the safety fall - ever, with this holster. I carry that big gun with shorts and a t-shirt & nobody is the wiser.

Years, I'm tellin' ya. Don't fall for the hype that you have to spend $284 and wait six years to get a quality holster!

There's my two cents, for what it's worth.... Good luck in your quest.
