1911 Carry Question

[Kick]

I have a no name brand IWB holster I carry right behind my hip. It's about an 8 as far as a scale of 1-10 in the comfort department. I prefer to carry it in a Bianchi Carry Lok OWB holster. That is a 10 all day long.

I cant say enough about milt sparks! Other than the long waiting period (about 6 months) he's hard to beat for quality and comfort. I have a Executives Companion for full size and a Watch Six for compact both iwb and very comfortable. If you watch sometimes you can find used ones on gunbroker.

FYI, if you order Milt Sparks holsters from Lightning Arms Sports in Portland or Brownell's, you do not have to wait six months.

Looks like Lightning Arms Sports has ceased business relations with Milt Sparks... too bad. Their prices are decent and they had a nice selection.

If you're a lefty, it looks like they have plenty of holsters in stock... I might pick up a mag carrier as well...

I carried my 1911 in a Galco FLETCH holster.

I have a Front Line vertical #2174 shoulder holster. It swivels so that draw is horizontal. Just grab and pull. Very comfortable. Perhaps not real subtle in the middle of summer, but in not-hot weather it even conceals well.

I have a Tagua with an extra heavy belt from Tractor Supply that I use at the range since shoulder holsters are a no-no. It's ok, but the Front Line is more comfortable.

Milt Sparks Summer Special with a good belt. Nothing else even comes close.
