Does anyone on here routinely carry a 1911? If so, what belt/holster setup do you use?

Standard leather western belt with an El Paso high slide. OWB with an untucked shirt. 3" Springer micro compact.
Go Ukraine! Piss on the Russian dead.
When I was young and stupid, mine (5" Essex mixmaster) was an Uncle Mike's IWB. The suit jacket over it helped a lot...

When I carry one of my 38 Super 1911's, it's usually in a Crossbreed Super tuck IWB. For OWB I use a T-Rex "Ragnarok".
Bravo Concealment Scuba Webbing belt with a local guys Kydex OWB holster.
Pistol is D.W. Valkyrie that I rebarreled to .38 Super.
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
Milt Sparks 55BN or Summer Special with one of their leather belts as well.
For IWB, I mostly use a CrossBreed SuperTuck. Occasionally, I’ll use a Milt Sparks VM2.
For OWB, I use an R Grizzle GS2, or a Milt Sparks 55BN.
I’ve worn Milt Sparks belts for many years, but I recently bought a Kore Essentials reinforced nylon belt, and like it much more than expected.

If you like the wide-spread style of IWB, the Milt Sparks VM2 was always my favorite. I have a Milt Sparks belt that I have been wearing for a LONG time. It may have started shrinking since I retired.
When I did (EDC a 1911) I used a Comp-Tac IWB, and a Blade-Tech OWB.
I currently have two Milt 55BN’s, but I believe it’s my belt that is lacking. I prefer leather and have yet to find the medium between too soft and plyable and bending solid steel around my waist.
