Help me find a nice 1911 holster!

[MartyK2500]

Hey guys, i know how to look online and all, but let's be honest here, typing 1911 holster in google brings you wayyy to many options.
I have a commander lenght 1911 single stack, which i would love to find a concealed carry type holster and mag pouches, outside the waistband as i do not want to buy new pants lol.
Something made out of leather, brown leather would have a classic look to it. I would love to support a CDN retailer if at all possible.

M1916 holster perhaps? John sells reproductions over at Marstar for $39.95.

He also offers the Concealer III belt holster for the 1911 and Hi Power for $34.00.

Milt Sparks, I've got a couple IWB and they're worth the wait.

Galco Concealable or better yet Alessi CQC-S

I'd agree with this. Not a bulky design, high quality. Really no different feel than if you were to tuck the pistol itself inside your waistband, except it won't fall out if you do cartwheels. I have a Summer special II and its a nice holster. No real need for it since I live in Canada, but i wanted it. Brownells carries them and often have on sale for less than you can buy direct from Milt Sparks.

I was looking at my profile and noticed i never thanked you guys for recommending milt sparks, better late than never!
I just love it, smells nice too

I ordered 2 out of the US. Custom made by JSG Gunleather. Very reasonable and incredible workmanship. My S&W 1911SC loves them both!

I got Troy at Brigade Gun Leather to make me a belt and concealed holster for my P220. Un. Believe. Able. I got his standard M11 in brown with matching belt. Absolutely impeccable quality, the fit is superb, I can't say enough about how nice it is. Fits closer, lower profile than anything I have compared it to (Galco and one other I can't remember). Very comfortable. The only issue is wait time, but he is worth it for sure. Honestly, if you aren't impatient, you wouldn't regret it ever.

This was an unsolicited ad...some people just deserve a strong recommendation based on their craftsmanship and attention to details. Not sure if putting a link on is kosher or not, but google will find it for you quick. TC

Edit: Have a good close look at the various pics, enlarge them. You will see the fit he has with a 1911 in it. Guy does crazy nice work.

Galco, DeSantis, Bianchi, Alessi all make excellent leather stuff. The Milt Sparks Summer Special has been around for, what? 40 years? Can't go wrong there either!! But you will need larger pants and a longer belt!

Concealed? Not buggering your pants? How about a Gould & Goodrich classical leather shoulder hoster with two mag carrier on the opposite site. If that would be something for you,PM me with an email for pics...
