Nice IWB for a Kimber Ultra II?

Hivoltage · March 11th, 2007, 01:01 PM

Anybody have any suggestions. I want something small with just 1 point of attachment to my belt. Galco has some nice ones but none specifically list the Ultra.

Also, is the Ultra just a 3 inch 1911, an officers frame or what. That might help me choose a holster!!!

My choice for my 3" SA Micro

Blackhawk makes a decent IWB with 1 solid loop:

I have a Sparks VM2 (two loops) and the Andrews McDaniel2 (one loop) for my Kimber Tac Ultra II 3". I have been wearing the Andrews more. It is more "minimalist" but very comfortable. I also recommend the body shield option. I'm wearing an untucked polo shirt today and my wife doesn't know I have it on. Also, the "officer" part of the Ultra is the grip length, so you want to look for holsters for a 3" 1911.

Yes, 3" 1911=Ultra.
I will advise you though, that a single loop design will not be very stable with a 1911, no matter how small. I strongly advise against it.
I recommend a double loop design such as the VMII from Sparks or the watch six. I'll also ruffle some feathers and so go with a custom holster. You'll have to wait for it but it generally won't cost much more than a Galco and you'll get a MUCH BETTER HOLSTER.

I have to disagree on the above statement as to a single point attachment. It depends on the holster. A Andrews Leather McDaniel II is very stable and holds close to your body. Just check with anyone that has one. I have around 5 of them. I can't say about other modles of single point attachment holsters as I don't have any. The rest are double point.

This Mitch Rosen ARG Express has one belt loop that is offset from the gun, and is available for the 3 inch barrel Kimber Ultra (shown in picture). These cost $85 from Gunner's Alley:

+1 on that. Been using the McD for both of my 1911's for almost 2 years. Very stable, very comfortable. As with all holsters a good gunbelt is required!

Okay okay- most single loop designs won't stabilize a 1911 very well. I haven't used a Mcdaniel....
