Holster for my Kimber

[AR Maker]

I have tried for a while now to find a holster for my Kimber Pro Carry II TLE/RL. And have had no luck finding a quality holster for it, I am currently carrying it in a Blackhawk generic holster that i dont like much. I want to carry it SOB. I am considering making a kydex holster for it but have never made anything out of Kydex. Is it difficult to work with for a noob?

I have never seen a hoster. I kid I kid. Have you tried Blade Tech? They can hand make you one for your spacific gun. From the looks of it they make one for that paticualar handgun. They run over $60 but they are well worth the money.

I own one for my FNP and highly reccomend one!

I'm curious why you've decided to carry SOB?

SOB carry is usually slower to draw from, tougher to retain in a fight, tougher to access in a fight (especially if you're on the ground), and could potentially cause a spinal injury if you fall backwards onto it.

Just some things to think about.

I decieded on SOB because hip carry is not very often an option for me. All though after more research today I am now leaning toward IWB behind my right pants pocket. Thanks for the help.

But do they make one for a 4 inch 1911 with an integrated light rail?

I don't know? I would bet not. But I also couldn't imagine my EDC IWB carry would be sporting a flashlight. I keep a lill streamlight microstream in my pocket for anytime I might need some illumination. For me and its just me incorporating the extra bulk of an attached flashlight just wouldn't be practical for EDC. I mean maybe if I were part of some sort of strike team where I might need a light on my pistol on an everyday basis. But for me as just your average Joe, the Trijicons with my streamlight in my off hand just seems more practical. I'm not a big fan of flashlights on handguns anyway, I don't like the added bulk and its just something else to snag on stuff. But then like I said if your doing a lot of low light entries where that would be beneficial then by all means have at it. There is a purveyor at the 1500 that will custom melt you a holster...

The Kimber in question has a light rail which changes the profile of the weapon. Making it not fit most holsters made for a 4 inch 1911. For EDC I don't carry with a light attached.

Check with this guy - he's on INGO as millsusaf. It's probably about an hour trip from Brooklyn, IN but if you're really wanting a holster made for a 4" 1911 with the light attached, it might be worth it. He does custom Kydex and makes a really nice holster that's custom to what you want. Very nice, standup guy that does quaility work. Good Luck.

I am sure it would fit fine with just the rail.

There are some 1911 holsters listed in the Blem sale on the XD talk web site. They are from Supertuck. He has the thread closed for the weekend but about noon on Monday I would expect they will start selling fast again. Awesome deal if you are interested.
