Check out the "Fist" website they have something for everyone.

"Fist" website? I guess I don't exactly know what you are talking about...
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

Fist holsters.  Sorry.  Just type in Fist Inc. and that should get you there.

Wow, I really like those Fist holsters! I'm leaning towards the #43 BELT SLIDE AND IWB CLIP, that is of course if they can make one for the SR9!  :D

Their e-mail address is fist98@aol.com and they have an 800# on the bottom of their home page.  They probably can make just about anything you want.

Does anyone have any experience with Galco "Southern Comfort," "NSA II," or "Royal Guard."  I'm looking for an IWB for my 1911 Gov.

I have a Galco Yaqui that I really like around the yard, but it's hard to hide the muzzle.

P.S.

Reading this thread I think it's time to start a "Man of Substance Club."  The closer to fifty I get, the softer and lower my chest gets ... who needs Sir Isaac Newton to tell us about gravity?   :'(  I'll admit to being 6'1" and 285. 
If I appear taller than other men it is because I am standing on the shoulders of others.

Concealment for sporadic carry. I guess it would be pertinent to mention that I'm a pretty big guy---6'3, 240 lbs.
Well I am 285 and 5'9" and i can tell you that i picked up a cheap ($5 or so) IWB when I got my CCH (KS) and carry a cocked and locked Star 9mm. It does an okay job but I am going to be switching to a Taurus Miliniun .45 and will be getting a formed leather IWB. It is quite difficult to quickly reholster my weapon since th nylon cruples up and my man handles land where they wish. A belly band may be a viable option.

I would add the following comments to several of the above posts.
1.   Comp-Tac great holster can’t go wrong.
2.   Any holster that attaches to your belt/pants you must be able to re-holster the gun with one hand.
3.   "The mark of a professional is to holster your gun with out looking at the holster". Mas Ayoob LFI
4.   The first level of gun retention is awareness the second is your holster if the bad guy grabs for your gun and you holster lets go your screwed.
