1911 Holster
I don't know if it is possible but I would be interested to know if anyone here carries a full size 1911 OWB? I am more concerned about conceal ability as opposed to weight. If anyone does carry in this manner, would you mind indicating the holster you use?

Re: 1911 Holster
I have a Whitehat Slide (OWB) holster for my 1911.
I don't carry it often, but it is not hard to conceal, as long as you use a loose cover garment (Jacket, Hawaiian shirt, etc)

I carry a full frame 1911 with a DM Bullards Dual Carry set up OWB, and wear one size bigger Long tail shirts.

Re: 1911 Holster
Raven concealment system. It has been 2 yrs since I carried my 1911 but that is a fine holster if you like Kydex.
Carry 24-7 or guess right.

Don Hume 721OT Plain, no frills, well made, economical. This holster is my favorite of all OWB holsters I own.

Re: 1911 Holster
I use the same exact Don Hume for my full size (its my EDC) and I love it. Occasionally (when I'm out in the woods usually) I use a Blackhawk Serpa holster. I can conceal in the right T Shirt, BUT it is easier and much more comfortable wearing a light weight cotton or under armor shirt as an under shirt with a decent button up shirt over top. I have a few from Eddie Bauer, Columbia, Under Armour and Dickies. Depending on your build, you will want your over shirt to be one size larger.

Re: 1911 Holster
Thanks everyone for the info.
MoJo and teraph - I actually thought of the Hume 721OT before I brought up this subject here. I have a couple of the 721 for different guns and really like them and they do make one for the full size 1911. I may look at the Hume. Only problem with them is they have become so popular that the last time I checked with them they had a 4 -6 month wait and they wanted money up front. When I first started buying holsters from them the wait was like 6-10 days. But you cannot beat their product for the price and quality.

Re: 1911 Holster
My vote goes to the D.M. Bullard Dual Carry. I have owned a couple of them. Great holster. Has the right amount of cant and holds up very well.

Re: 1911 Holster
once i receive my plastic will be carrying a SR1911 for my EDC, testing out a few holsters in the mean time... favorite right now is the Blackhawk Serpa CQC, can switch between a paddle and belt setup... have a Tagua OWB which i like okay and a Tagua IWB which I will probably use for that, for the OWB's know will have to get some different shirts... like the Blackhawk, some much easier to draw than the Tagua'sstash wrote:I don't know if it is possible but I would be interested to know if anyone here carries a full size 1911 OWB?

Re: 1911 Holster
Definitely not my EDC but I do like it with a dinner jacket that I know isn't coming off.
