Don't wear a 1911 in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II directly next to your body without having a t-shirt or something underneath it. I did that all day today and now have a rather nice rasberry from the beavertail.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Versa Max II holster, I just learner the hard way to have a t-shirt under it.

Sometimes if you're being rubbed raw by clothing, new boots, a holster ect. A Band-Aid or piece of tape can get you by. Oftentimes the skin needs time to adjust too.

Never had that problem, and I carry 1911 types against my skin often, usually either in a Brommeland Max-Con V or a Sparks Executive Companion. Does your VMII have a sweat guard extension? I forget whether that is a standard feature on the models for autos.

The VM II does have a sweat guard. Unfortunately the beavertail sticks out beyond it.

I'd give some thought to dulling or relieving the beavertail, if it isn't chrome or nickle plated, or replace it with an STI grip safety, if the frame cut is right. One of the few compliments I can give STI is that they relieve their beavertails on the sides, which would help your problem, and also makes them more comfortable for some folks with thick thumbs in a high-thumb grip.

Been carrying 1911's in VMII's or other IWB's for many years without an issue. You using a decent belt? Some people will never get used to IWB carry no matter how hard they try! Seems that the grip would be the problems vs the beavertail, best of luck to you!
