1911 holster recommendations

[JRAP27]

Recently purchased a Springfield Armory 1911 mil spec and am looking for a comfortable IWB holster. Anyone have any suggestions ?

Crossbreed supertuck is the best. Have 5 holsters from them. You don't need horse hide. And I recommend skipping combat cut. It's uncomfortable. Buy a nice gun belt too. Add 2" to waist band!

Oh and I carry a 1911

I've had good luck with High Noon; I have their Down Under with Straps. Blade-tech also produces a comfortable IWB, though their customer service is lacking. I'm not a fan of huge honkin' holsters like what Crossbreed and Comp-tac make for IWB, but it all depends on what works for you and your body type.

I have had good luck with Fist for leather and Crossbreed for hybrid. For all guns including 1911s

Milt Sparks VM-2. It's expensive and you'll wait to get it. But it's niiiiice. Crossbreed if you're thrifty and impatient.

Either one of these holsters are a good choice, I own both of them and will switch between both of them.

The C-Flex is pretty sweet and worth the wait IMO

Agreed on the MS VMII!!!

Another quick option is the MS Summer Special 2, usually stocked by Brownells for $95 (LE or C&R FFL) or $100 (w/o dealer status).

I CCW'd a FS 1911 in the Summer Special 2 for a while and it was very comfortable.

Think I am going to give one a try. Thank you.

Alessi MOB. Worth every penny and the wait. Comfortable with instant lumbar support. I wear one for hours with no problems. Excellent for concealing big guns no matter how big or small you are.

I have been using the comptac mtac IWB for my R1. Only problem is the grips are like a cheese grater on my sides. How are you guys dealing with this?

Are you wearing a shirt between your side and the gun?

 

[Buckhunter156]

Yes. I was amazed I was getting rubbed through a t shirt. I was looking at the vz carry grips but they still look like they would do the same thing. Does any one have any recommendations on grips of other carry options for a full size? Besides moving to an OC state.

 

[M1911]

I've never had that problem. You are experiencing that with standard double-diamond wood grips? You could try some hogue rubber grips. Send me a pm tonight and I will dig through my gun junk draw and see if I have anything you could try.

 

[Buckhunter156]

I actually just ordered those and some of the vz carry ones.
