1911 OWB

[joespapa]

Needing recommendations for a slim profile 1911 OWB holster. Lost a bunch of weight and IWB is no longer comfortable.

Simply Rugged. Carried a 1911 on a horse, dirt bike, and ATV. Totally secure and out of the way on the ranch for 20 years.

I'll second that. It's what I use with a Commander size and is comfortable with a good belt.

Bucheimer Concealer #75. they made them lined and unlined, plain and basketweave. Lee

Milt Sparks and matching belt. It's very comfortable and carries tightly to your waist. Cost a little more, but worth the price of entry.

i've used Bianchi "Askins Avenger" holsters for years.

I've used a Tagua belt slide and a Galco AV212 Avenger for years. I have no idea if either is still in production, but they are well made and have held up very well.

MTR Custom Leather has numerous OWB holster options for your 1911.

I like the Avenger style holsters. Just about everybody makes a version of it.

I did a writeup on a Lobo gunleather one off - you might like it. It is kind of like a belt slide but for between the belt and trousers.

Kramer leather makes excellent holsters but it's going to take you about 6 months to get one.

I carry a 4506, which is similar in size/weight to a 1911, in a Dom Hume JIT holster on a Wilderness Instructor belt.

When I lost weight I had to start carrying ANOTHER 1911 on my left hand side to shim my pants enough to keep them from falling off. Might try that...especially if you only have one 1911 now.

I just laughed after reading you post and looking at the advert under.. no advice for a holster, sorry.

The Avenger style holster from a bunch of makers . Hard to go wrong with.

Kramer Horsehide Leather - the absolute best as far as I am concerned.

 

[Jonzim]

Mitch Rosen Express line for me.

 

[Rodan]

Another vote for the Askins Avenger pattern.

If you prefer an 'FBI' cant to vertical, any of the various 'pancake' style. Galco 'Combat Master' or equivalent.
