1911luver

I'm wanting a OWB rig for my 1911's and was considering a Null Gibraltar speed scabbard,Kramer belt scabbard or a galco concealable. which of these is the most stable and highest riding? I've carried alot in owb rigs but mostly a 3 1/2" 1911 or snub nose revolver nothing longer than that. So for those here that carry owb can it be hidden with only a t shirt or polo type shirt,i.e. with out wearing 2 shirts?

I'm thinking if you carry a 5" 1911 owb the weapon grip may be high enough to make a good draw a little awkward, if you carry at the same height as an IWB holster there is a good chance the holster could show under cover garment

Yes, quite easily, I've carried that way for years. I have not used the holsters you mentioned, but used/use an Askins Avenger (Bruce Nelson's #1 holster).

For inside the pants I use a Milt Sparks Watch-Six, or a Summer Special.

I have seen Garrity's high ride OWB. It used a middle loop in the back to add stability.
Milt Sparks #60TK rides pretty high...
Mernickles PS6 (Mernickle Custom Holsters - Performance Series) is a really nice high ride. A deputy friend swears by it.
Tucker's pancake (Pancake) may work.
Or I have seen a few by Little Feather that may fit the bill. I think he even makes a high ride paddle. LFL Home Page

I am sure there are hundreds more, but those are some off the top of my head.

I routinely carry my 5" Nighthawk Custom 1911 in a Milt Sparks Axiom holster. An absolutely wonderful holster and coupled with a 1.5" Milt Sparks belt....you forget it is there. Alternatively, I also use a Milt Sparks Summer Special II IWB which I also love.

I carry my Taurus PT1911 with a Desantis Speed Scabbard (black) w/ no problems. Make sure you have a good, heavy-duty belt. Check it out: SPEED SCABBARD

I carry my XD40 in a Don Hume OWB pancake holster under a untucked polo, and I have never had any problems. I don't really like IWB holsters they're uncomfortable to me. So I dress around my carry, and I wear the same gun in the same holster all year long. I think the holsters you mentioned will work just fine, but also check out the Don Hume H721 I am really pleased with mine. here is a link for you to check out DonHume.com - Product Details

If you intend to "high ride" a full size 1911 then make certain that you buy a really great quality stiff gun belt.
