For me it is finding that sweet spot of cant that will conceal the end of the grip. I use a Crossbreed SuperTuck and it does a good job concealing my Rock FS plus the Rock compact.

Great holster!!! You have done well Czampion. I'm not a big guy but I can easily conceal my 5" Springer in HBE's DC Special. It and his COM III are my favorites for my 1911 and BHP. Both are very comfortable and worth every penny of their price.

Obviously I use a Fist, and for my 1911's it's one of these two...

1. FIST, INC./IWB w/cant


2. FIST, INC. IWB-SOB

I use a Crossbreed Supertuck for my full size 1911. I'm a slim guy and can conceal it pretty well.

Hmm, it seems that the supertuck is highly recommended, I saw its name most often. What does anyone think of the M-tac? Seams to me like it would be easier to adjust the cant. But this is only from looking at pictures online

1911s are pretty easy to conceal with a good holster regardless of the slide length. With a full size 5" it's absolutely critical to use a real, purpose built gun belt. Cheap knock-offs and bargain belts are going to make your carry experience miserable, a dual layer gun belt will resist rotational torque from the weight of the gun and help support the rig over long hours of carry.

Personally, I prefer leather holsters and belts. My favorite IWB holster by far is Brommeland's MaxCon V. Others you might consider would be Milt Sparks VersaMax II, HBEs COM 3, or something from Nate at UBG.

Most makers also offer gun belts designed to work with their holsters and they're worth penny. I had a 1.5" Milt Sparks belt that I wore daily for over 7 years (until I outgrew it). Other belt sources worthy of consideration would be The Beltman and the Wilderness Instructor's belts (their 5 stitch model is remarkably comfortable and secure).

My fullsize and Little Bear Hoplite disappear, but most stuff does when your 6'2" 270 pounds

From the womans perspective I find my 1911 the easiest of all on them to conceal. I carry OWB and even at a petite 5'4" and 125 pounds my Kimber Pro Crimson Carry II hides easily under a sweatshirt or t-shirt. I don't wear anything different now than I did before I started to carry, as long as the top is long enough to cover the holster, and I've only run across 2 tops that were to short to cover up.
With the 1911 being as thin as it is, I can hide it easier than my little J-frame or the big honking 686 Plus with the nasty stock grips, those have to go. Even the GP100 with the 6" barrel hides better.

i use the cross breed inside the waistband and i havent had any one say anything. i usually can conceal it with just a light button up over top a t-shirt

I can personally vouch for the MaxCon V, the Fist and the UBG holsters for 1911s OWB and IWB. All are great makers and you will be satisfied.
If you get the proper amount of "cant" to turn the gun, it suddenly conceals much easier. With the MaxCon, I can cover what is showing above my belt line, with my palm! So, the least tee shirt or polo shirt will hide it well.
