1911 IWB Holster
My new night sights for my 1911 and new grip panels will be in this week. After I give it a good shoot in I am thinking of carrying it on occasions. Anyone know of a good IWB holster for a full size 1911?

I'm happy with the Cross Breed Super-tuck for my full size Kimber. Whichever holster you decide on, make sure you have a good deal of cant to conceal the grip.

How many choices do you want? There's dozens of great designs and holsters are a highly individual thing. Collecting them can be as addictive as collecting the 1911's!
My two favorite makers are K&D and Andrews Leather. See the holster maker links on this site and you could browse for hours!

Milt Sparks VM2 is a top favorite. Click on the link at the top of the home page.

Don't go cheap and expect a wait for quality stuff. Buy the matching belt and mag pouch at the same time from the same maker. The belt is as important as the holster! I agree, the VM-II is one of my favorite IWB's, the other being Brommeland's MaxCon V.

UBG Holsters
I'm very happy with my UBG Canute. It's a dual loop IWB so it's very stable and comfortable. The price is reasonable and best of all, Nate delivers in about a month.

It's just my opinion but I think the VM-II is the best IWB made!

Not to offend anyone else's holsters, but unless you get a model with two belt loops, you're going to suffer shifting, which effects your grip. As far as I'm concerned, there are only two styles worth mentioning...the Summer Special, which puts the loops right over the top of the pistol (and makes it bulky for me), or the wide spread double loops fore and aft of the pistol, made by many holstermakers. Personally, I like the Sparks VM2 and the Brommeland MaxConV, but each to their own. The single loop IWB,s, and especially the crappy clip models, do not hold the gun in a consistant postition. They may be a little more comfortable, but I want to know were my pistol is at all times.
