The title of the thread pretty much says it all.
On a hike last weekend I wore an OWB holster for my 4.25" 1911. It's a fabric holster made of padded nylon and straps. This one, actually. It was a cheap purchase that I made because I had nothing else; was new to shootin' and didn't want to spend too much while still steeped in ignorance; knew that "something is better than nothing"; and also knew that eventually I would find a better option.
Well, it's time to find a better option because that soft padding protects the gun very well, but if it gets compressed too much it will activate the mag release button so that when I do pull the gun out the mag is floating loose. That's not a good situation if I have to yank it.
Gonna go looking for a nice leather holster, maybe even a custom job with some artwork that I can pass on to my nephew when I croak.
