for a full size 1911?

I know, hard, but if anyone has any good recommendations, I'd love to hear them.

When I carry my 1911 I used a paddle lock like this. Holds it secure and tight against your body.

I hear that Blackhawk also has a new concealed carry version of their serpa holster.

Carry one every day in a Milt Sparks Versa Max II http://www.miltsparks.com/VM-2.htm.

Also have used a C-Tac and was very happy with it.

Both are IWB.

It depends on where you live and what you wear to pick the best holster, actually you'll probably end up with more than one. Under a parka and you can wear whatever holster you want. Florida in the Summer? Then an inside the waistband rig with untucked shirt is probably best. Milt Sparks, Galco, Blackhawk are a few brands that I've used.

i have one of the Dakota Defenders for my xd40 4" and its nice. gun is a little on the heavy/bulky side for all day IWB carry but holster is well done.

While not cheap, my vote goes to the Milt Sparks VM-II.

Lou Alessi at Alessi holsters. The best of the best. Call now and get on the waiting list. I run a CQC/s with my USP compact. Basically I run that model because I'm in Colorado. open carry and concealed carry is fine here so the cqc/s fit the bill for me.

Another vote is for 5 Shot Leather. John Ralston does an unbelievable job as well. I use one of his belts.

I had hoped to pick up a Milt Sparks VM-II but apparently theres a 26 week turn around on them.

Thanks everyone. It'd be much simpler if I was running a 3.5" 1911 instead of a 5" - one of these days I'll get one.

I carry a Springfield MC Opderator with 5" barrel in a Kirkpatrick Leather Texas Stong side holster. Comfortable with decent concealment. The holster, with a good belt, handles the heavy weight of the gun which is 43 oz unloaded.
