1911 holster help

Hammer Armament makes a nice holster, just not sure if they have one for your specific gun. I carry my Atlas Nyx in one and also a Staccato C but mine are IWB. Have you checked out 5 Shot Leather? They make my favorite leather holster by far but wait times can be very long. They are very popular over at 1911 Addicts. https://5shotleather.com/store/owb
Garrett, leather lined kydex.
My 5th came last week, an IWB dot/light holster. Going to order an OWB for the same gun next.

I would try milt sparks in Idaho, I used to use Bullard leather but I am not sure they are still around.
Well, I was gonna suggest Savoy Leather, but it looks like they’re out of business, and screwed a bunch of customers on their way down the drain. Too bad, I have a few of their holsters for a couple 1911s as well as some Glocks and other polymer framed handguns.
If you’re looking for kydex, I’ve had a couple light bearing, and non-light bearing holsters made for both full size as well as commander-size 1911s by Red Hill Tactical; had two of ‘em made to accept a GCode mount to clip in and out of my chest rig or into a truck/ATV mount:
Edit: If you have the patience, and money for a true custom holster, give Sam Andrews a call. He’s a true artisan, and a master at his craft… Mine took a year for him to produce, and worth it:

@JoshPutman beat me to it but I'll just say that there's "a lot" of options out there for left-handed 1911 holsters that accommodate a red dot. There's also a lot of knowledgable folks here that can help and knowing that OWB is the goal is halfway there- knowing the desired material helps bracket things in quite a bit further.
I'm hoping the OP says kydex or hybrid because if they say leather... whoa doggy- the options just are endless for a 1911. That's both a good and bad thing.

Southern Trapper is a good leather option. They can make you something that will fit a dot and light. Red Hill Tac mentioned above is a great kydex option. Black point tactical makes a kydex with leather wings option as well.
