1911 holster

[Victor Simon]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a holster? I need one for my full size 1911.

What type of full size 1911? SIG 1911s may not fit a regular 1911 holster.
Kydex or leather?
Range carry or competition use?

Either way, I will avoid generic one size fit none corduroy/synthetic types as well as Blackhawk Serpa and Fobus style finger release models.

Ah it's a norc and it's just die the range. Kydex would be fine.

Be careful with the norc. If it has the square trigger guard you will not find many that will fit. When you do, let me know what you got.

I got a condor leg drop holster universal pistol holster but you can also get a 1911 style holster from them

Most ranges will not allow them but I find the most practical holster for a 1911 is the M7 tanker holster.

I ATC'd my NP29 in mine a couple of times.

I think the Major General on the left is Lucian Truscott.

“Truscott was one of the really tough generals,” soldier-cartoonist Bill Mauldin of the 45th Infantry Division once wrote. “He could have eaten a ham like Patton for breakfast any morning and picked his teeth with the man’s pearl-handled pistols.” Not one merely to act the part of commander, Mauldin remembered, “Truscott spent half his time at the front—the real front—with nobody in attendance but a nervous Jeep driver and a worried aide.”

It also fits many of my other pistols eg. GLOCK 17, TT33, S&W 3914, Beretta 71, Astra Constable.

Yeah, the shoulder rig is a definite no go at any public range. Great for wilderness carry though.

For a cheaper Kydex option, look at Bladetech or Comp Tac. Make sure you have a proper belt with the proper width that matches your holster or your gun will slide around and/or tip.

Thanks for all the replies.


I'll probably buy what you posted geologist.

I really like my uncle mike's tactical kydex, about 30.oo
Nor. 1911 full size with a red dot .
Simple, screw adj for retention, no finger latch to mess up.
Mind you that is just range plinking.
Out in the bush, I would go leather with a strap

Soley Canadian has some good options
