I'm 5'9" and weigh 175 pounds. I carry a 5" 1911 95% of the time and a 4 1/4" Commander the other 5%. I usually carry it in a Comp-Tac Infidel IWB holster, but I sometimes use an OWB holster. As others have said, buy a good gun belt, it's not an option, it's mission-critical.

Also as others have advised, be sure to get a holster that cants at least 15% (a/k/a FBI cant) to aid in keeping the grip of the gun in line with your torso. Straight drop holsters are great for competition, but not for carrying a handgun concealed.

I think this should be put in a sticky somewhere, the info is so valuable.

It's an excellent post.
