I have a kimber pro carry II 1911 and I’m wanting to get a holster so I can take my black badge, there’s a lot of options and I’m feeling a little overwhelmed.

What are fellow 1911 cgn’ers using/recommending? Any suppliers in Saskatchewan?
 
Stay away from locking holsters. Button release is a no no at comps. Bladetech is one of them (I think).

I have the same gun as you and use a G-Code holster, works great for me.

It's not necessarily that they aren't allowed, in many cases they are allowed, it's that - depending upon the activity - they are not necessarily desireable.

For your stated purpose, you probably can't do any better than a Blade-Tech Classic OWB.

They're popular for a reason.

Fake news.

The only locking holsters that are banned are the ones that use your trigger-finger to activate.
 
I use a cheap Blackhawk non locking holster with a hanger I made from some scrap aluminum. Total cost was something like $20 and it's not too bad. If IPSC is something you're going to stick with, I'd probably get a DAA race holster though, they're expensive but they're also great stuff. There's a reason why almost everyone uses them. Same for their mag pouches, but even more so.

I’ve been using ghost holsters from Double Tap Sports for 4 years now shooting classic in IPSC. Depending where you are I could show you a wide array of holsters from several manufacturers.
