Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 holster recomendations?

Re: 1911 holster recomendations?

IWB? OWB? 3"? 5"? Need cant? Tuckable? Sparks, Tucker, etc not good enough? Lotta good holsters out there so more info on what kind of holster and what custom features you are looking for might help with the suggestions unless you just want the name of someone who can make you a custom holster.

I have a Galco concealable and it is very comfortable and provides solid retention and a quick presentation. It is outside the waistband which is fairly low profile for my commander length 1911, but not as discrete as something inside the waistband.

I just bought a Don Hume IWB holster but that's in the mail so I'll have to see what it is like when it arrives.

Crossbreed in horsehide. Add anti-skid tape to the outside of the kydex.

It is adjustable for height and cant. The large back makes it very comfortable and stable. Also, it is thinner than some of the others suggested here, which I have tried also.

Or look for one on SleazeBay and pay the markup. Also, Lightning Arms carries a few. I go Milt Sparks all the way, IWB.

Kramer with belt loops the size of your belt- 1.25", 1.50", etc. I run the horsehide. It is unbelievable. They said it was thinner and stiffer than the cowhide and it is.

If you are going to beat it to death while hunting, fishing, snowmobiling or the like, a Bladetech might be your ticket.
