Re: Carrying a 5" 1911 is hard
I just ordered an A & G Custom Gun Leather belt. Will be my first actual gun belt, so I'll get to see how much of a difference it will make.

Re: Carrying a 5" 1911 is hard
Same for me, except it is the Springfield 4.5" XDM. I have a compact that I can carry, but I do love being able to carry a full size.jimlongley wrote:At ~6'2" and >200#, I have carried full size 1911s for years, very comfortably.joe817 wrote:I could Never get away with carrying a full size 1911 even though I'd love to. The Lord blessed me with a "compact size" and at 5' 8" and weighs soaking wet, 180 lbs., a compact gun, or sub compact gun is what I am most comfortable with and I NEVER have any probs with unintentional exposure of my gun. besides, it's totally comfortable for carry all day, every day.
Now then a guy who is 6' 2" or better and weighs 200 or better could MUCH easier totally conceal a full size 1911, and I say how lucky you are! (except when you try to squeeze into a sub-compact car!)
Compacts and sub-compacts were developed for people like me. Just saying.

Re: Carrying a 5" 1911 is hard
I have to agree. I have an iwb holster and magazine holder from him. You do have to wear an undershirt if you are going to wear leather iwb. I have an aliengear holster and stealthgearusa magazine holder and those I can do without an undershirt even on hot days. Nothing holds up like leather though if you take care of it. D M Bullard does do good work though, does custom work also. Also does belts if you need a better belt to hang your stuff on.Right2Carry wrote:DM Bullard in Azle. Great IWB holster.
