Holster for 1911.

[100]

Can anyone recommend a good concealed-carry holster for a 1911? I've been carrying my Sig P238 for the summer but now that it's getting colder I want to carry my R1. I know this isn't going to be an easy task. I also have to take into consideration that women's clothing is not forgiving to concealment, especially a full-size 1911. I don't mind buying bigger clothes but I'm just looking for a holster that would conceal the best and provide comfort at the same time. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Keep it simple. I'd recommend a simple open top belt holster from Galco. I carried a 1911 with one for 20 years, before I changed guns.

JMCustoms is my pick. I've had good luck with them.
It's Kydex if you're ok with that.

I also use JM Custom Kydex. I carry my 1911 appendix and their holsters are perfect for the job

1911s deserve a good leather holster. I bought a pancake holster from Tucker and Byrd. Good stuff

Tony Kanaly of Milt Sparks fame (long time owner after Milt passed away) designed the PMK holster specifically for his wife Pam (hence the initials).

It is designed to be more comfortable for a woman's curves. As it happens, it is also a smoking good holster for men too. Very comfortable.

For the OP, it would be well worth your time to check out the PMK from Milt Sparks.

Buy Once Cry Once.

Paying $120 bucks (or whatever they run these days) for a high quality rig, beats the hell out of having a cardboard box full of crappy $60 holsters that are "just as good as", that never really are, and you've wasted $300 dollars on, trying to be cheap.

Yes Sir.

Every good 1911 deserves a nice pair of leather pants. Take a look at Privateer Leather - my hunting partner had one of the OWB Askin's style numbers done up for his P35 and I now have one on the way form my Dan Wesson LASD Specialist...
