Carry Holster for 1911

[300rum]

Take a look at Crossbreed holsters for a concealable IWB holster.  I can tuck my shirt in which is why I like it the most.  I carry a 5" and no one knows.

I wear it small-of-the-Back.

I've seen those. They look really comfy. I have only seen the commercials though not in any stores to try them out.

I don't think that they sell them in stores?  They give you two weeks, no questions asked to try it out.  That one cost me about $100, you can get them for about $80. 

The only thing that I am concerned about is that the barrel will wear a hole in my pants eventually, I typically wear suit pants during the week/Sunday.  But, this is because I am carrying a full size 5", I think that if you are wearing something shorter you won't have as much problem.  It is a little expensive but it works. 

I don't care to wear my shirt untucked so this is one of the main reasons I got one of these, you can tuck and they won't know it is there, even with a full size 1911.  The only time, I feel, where you are given away is if you bend over to pick something up, the grip separates and doesn't move so much with your trunk and the grip kind of pops up like a flag, but again with a more concealable pistol you won't have as much problem.

Take a look at youtube, they have quite a few videos on them.

I'll second the Crossbreed. I've had one for about 2 years and I love it. But like 300Rum said, it will wear a hole in you pants. Other than that it's a great holster. I carry a Dan Wesson CCBT and it dissapears under just an untucked t-shirt.

If you are in and out of a car you don't want a small of the back or kidney holster.

Here is a pair of IWB holsters....one for my 5" and one for my 3" Kimber.  Black with sharkskin trim.  Very comfortable.

I use a Galco paddle holster.  Works great on the strong side hip, or if I want to put it in the small of my back.  Of course, I am a big guy, so a bit easier to hide a full size 1911.

For walk-around I use the blackhawk check six.  It is as concealable as you can get for an owb holster because of the extreme cant, very secure and accessible.  I use it for a commander 1911.

If it's hot out and you don't want to ware a shirt over your gun you can get a Gun fanny pack. Wear a T-shirt and shorts with your fanny pack.

This is why you don't laugh at the guy with a fanny pack.

Definitely do not want to walk up to him and ask why he has a purse around his waist!

i don't care what's in that fanny pack i'm not wearing one! I like the blackhawk checksix though. I'm gonna have to see if i can find a better price than that though.

I think I found mine for around $50.  Remember to get a good quality belt too.  A lot of folks think they chose a crappy holster because their belt is weak or thin.

Was a Kramer IWB guy for a long time UNTIL I discovered the Sparks Versa-Max II holster.  Never looked back.  It seems like everyone I let try it buys one.
