Anyone CCW a 1911 Govt with a Weaponlight?

[Gewehr3]

Greetings,

My usual carry pistol is a fullsize 1911. I like the idea of having a weaponlight attached to a carry pistol.

Does anyone actually conceal carry a fullsize 1911 with a weaponlight attached? Is it practical considering the weight and size on this weapon/light combo?

Thanks!

i've CCW'd some big ass guns.. USP full size, 1911, etc.. never with a light, but having gone big without any issues, i'd think you could do it. just have to have the right shirts/jackets lined up

Not a 1911 but I've carried my issued M&P with attached TLR off duty most of the time, in a Raven Phantom. I"ve got a Desert Warrior that I've also carried a lot, except I don't have a Phantom for it yet.
It does seem to be a little more comfortable IWB w/o a light but overall it's not a big deal.

I do carry a full size and do not carry it light attached.

May I ask what holster you use?

RCS Phantom for 1911 with X300.

A Galco (model escapes me) and BladeTech for my non rail 1911

Kevin, you mentioned in another thread using an RCS Phantom for a 1911 with a Dawson rail/light mounted. Do you have pics of that rig?

Thanks

I dont have any pics here -- I will see if I can snap some after work.

Kevin / others - does the Dawson Rail require a different holster? Or can a leather holster stretch to accomodate the rail?

TIA
