This is about like asking someone which brand of jeans are the best. It all depends on your shape, size, lifestyle, and preferences.

I don't like to wear huge clothes, so I generally wear a Bersa .380. When I can hide it, I prefer the 1911 (.45 cal). I believe in wearing the biggest thing you can comfortably shoot and hide.

One forum member, Thane, has switched temporarily to a Glock. He prefers a 1911, but has found that his overactive sweat glands aren't kind to his 1911. The Glock, a plastic gun, isn't so prone to rust. For now, this is what works for him.

Charles & longtooth like the 1911s a lot. I believe both men carry these exclusively. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) However, I think they both work indoors most of the time & possibly don't have the sweat & rust issue.

My dad usually just carries a .32 Kel-tec. Since he's disabled, and IMO more vulnerable, I wish he would carry a .45. He's getting there. He's talking about wearing a high riding holster to carry his 1911. Anything, however, is better than nothing.

Talk to as many people as you can. Get as much info from them as you can. If you meet ppl face to face, as in a gun shop, range, or forum day, I encourage you to try on their holsters.

If you ask longtooth, he may PM you a list of holster makers.
