Breathing new life into a Colt 1911

[BlackdogGS]

I had this for over 35 years and never shot it until a few days ago. It shot well so I loaded up 700 rounds of 230 round nose and replaced the grips. Now I'm looking for a decent
OWB holster for it, what do you recommend?

Nice pistol, but then I have a BIG weak spot for 1911's
Carry for every day carry? If you are not afraid of the sight of the hammer back my long time favorite is the belt slide. If you want the hammer and more of the pistol covered leather would be best. I use Kydex now days but mine are stainless so don't have to worry about finish. Of course as I tell all, almost all who carry for a while end up with a box of holsters they no longer use. Real hard to tell what works until you try it sadly

CrossBreed. Inside the pants big paddle holster without the combat cutaway. They call it the Supertuck. Horsehide upgrade. Expensive. Same for the multiple mag holsters. This time of year, (considering), this holster will make the big guns nearly disappear. Except, as already said, that cocked and locked Commander type hammer.

Do not enter the gates of fun and madness regarding the 1911. No return. Much fun. Laughs and giggles. No known cure.

Can't help with a holster because they fit you like a shoe but 1911 are the cats meow.

My 1911 has been in this holster for the last 35 years or so. It's the same one I used while in the Air Force.
