Lets talk Holsters...

+1 on the Raven and adding Blade Tech to the mix and do NOT forget Milt Sparks, good stuff that works from good companies.

Offer: If anyone wants to try my 1911 holsters, tell me.  We can start a demo list, I ship to address #1, it then gets fwd'd to the next guy, so on and so forth.

Just ask!

I own a Tarus 1911 AR (w/rail) and as you Taurus guys know that finding a holster that will fit with that rail is a real problem. I "lucked" out this weekend and stuck my 1911 into my leather SigSauer P-220 (45 ACP) holster and it FITS perfectly :>)   The ony difference is the 1911 sticks out the bottom of the hoster about a 1/2 inch where the Sig Sauer does not.

So if you are having problems finding a hoster for your Taurus 1911 AR then look for holsters that will fit the SigSauer P-220.  There is a lot more of them around.

I have put my .02 in here before.  But here it is.  My carry gun is an M&P 40c and I carry it in a COMPTAC MTAC IWB holster.  It is super comfortable and actually fits nicely in my regular sized pants with the belt let out one notch.  I have gotten so used to it I done even realize i am still carrying sometimes.  I am just a fan of IWB year round though some will complain that i use it wrong.  I dont wear a tactical vest or cover garment.  I simply wear all my shirts untucked (yes I am the younger generation that dresses like bums... i know i know.. so no comments from the geritol gallery)...  and being a larger guy, it is easier to do it this way without printing.  paddle holster just dont do it for me.

  Due to severe spinal injuries I cannot carry IWB nor is it comfortable to carry on my strong side,and forget about any cheap holster! I learned fast to buy a quality leather belt and holster.........PERIOD! I found carrying crossdraw was my best option due to my circumstances.My 2 main carry pistols a Government model 1911 and a Sig 225. The 1911 I purchased my belt,Vert. mag holder and crossdraw holster on a sale all for roughly $160.00 from Blackhillls Leather.My Sig I got an outstanding beltand Horz. mag hlder  from little bear custom leather and a speed draw cross draw from Mernickle Custom Holster's.both being excellentholsters that conceal well and are comfortable. I will say the workmanship on Mernickle is a step above blkhills and the draw on his holster's is unbelievably FAST! after carrying crossdraw for over a yr it's unreal the speed in which one can develop in your draw and driving is very comfortable.I can conceal with a loose shirt buttoning the last two buttons enables me to do a very clean draw with out having to lift my garment up.

I carry a Kimber Pro Raptor commander size 1911 in a Tucker Gun Leather HF-1. It is the most comfortable way for me to carry, I could never get used to IWB. The HF-1 is a work of art with superb craftsmanship that you must see and handle to fully appreciate. There is no break in to go through, the gun fits perfectly the first time you use it and retains it well.   I also use a gun belt and mag carrier from Tucker that matches the holster perfectly. I have used these for close to four years and couldn't be happier.

First post and I love the site. I've been watching for about a year now and love it.  My holster is a supertuck deluxe from crossbreed holsters.  I'm carrying a hk usp 40.  I'm trying to read and learn before I open my mouth too much.

Welcome sting...why be any different than everyone else?  Learn on the fly.  Lot of good info here and most of us don't get angry when you say something a little bit off (like some other places!).

 Yes, we only really brawl in the politics thread

again another newbe. I carry an XDM 40. My first holster was a IWB Bare Asset by Highnoon Holsters. I liked the holster, but I had to change how I wore everything to keep it covered up. Also I had to really tighten down the belt to keep it from a 45% cant forward. I have a kydex that came with the Springfield, but when I wear it I am constintly hitting the wall, doors, or scratching up the firniture in the house.
Now I have purchased the Crossbreed Super Tuck and really like it a lot. At 5'11" and 285 I find that the holster stays in close and I am able to tuck in the shirt with no problem. Most of the time I wear it out and a small simple jacket keeps it covered. I had a little problem with the clips at first but the people at Crossbreed have been great to work with, and now everything is working well. It is the most comfortable holster I have ever worn. It rides on the belt and dosn't pull on the pants. Old as I am I have lost my ass and keeping my pants up is important. I am able to wear it all day and no problems with my back or hips.
Thanks for the great site I have really enjoyed it so far.

You're doing the right thing. This is an equal opportunity, lwymo website (Learn While You Mouth Off). Just jump right in and have at it.
Nice holster choice, btw.
