I am looking for a belt holster for my 1911 for range use. My 1911 has a large front fiber-optic sight and enlarged slide and magazine releases. Is there a type or brand of holster that you would recommend?
 
This works well

I kid, I kid. It really depends on what you intend to do. If you compete then there are several options that are better suited to specific disciplines. If you just want to carry your gun at the range, pretty much anything that it will fit into will work. Obviously some work better than others. Price plays a role, there's not much desire to spend serious coin on a good holster if its only for range plinking.

Regardless of what you run, try and stick to brand name holsters. Thread on holsters(they thread onto your belt) are more secure than clip on or paddle style holsters. The belt itself is just as important. Buy a good gun belt if you're serious about using the holster. The level of retention is a blend of personal preference and intended role.

Now our most popular holster comes with our new (Sting Ray) belt Attachment. This attachment is wider than our standard belt attachment, thus providing a more stable platform, also being wider it tends to pull the gun in closer to the body, aiding in concealment.

This holster comes with our new adjustable belt loop that has a shim that can be adjusted from 1 1/4 to 2 1/4 inch belts. IDPA Approved.

My first choice in Kydex would be Comp-Tac.

And in horsehide, either Kramer, Milt Sparks, or C. Rusty Sherrick.
