  • Best holsters for concealed carry

    I am looking at buying a new IWB holster for my 3" 1911. Any suggestions?

    I was thinking maybe a Don Hume or Galco.

    Kydex is way faster than leather and does not need a break in period. For the 4 oclock carry I use the FIST Universal, or the BladeTech Nano
    for appendix, the Alabama Hooker

      There are cheaper and more costly but not with as many options and leather feels way better against your skin than a skinny piece of kydex . Very flexable leather as used with a glove leather backing and very adjustable for height and cant with the ablitity of changing just the kydex body for a different handgun.

          Both of the ones you listed, Hume and Galco are excellent. Also, consider De Santis and Bianchi for the IWB leather holsters as I have had excellent service from all the companies listed. And as good as Kydex is in many applications, I personally prefer a leather IWB holster for comfort.

            Highlander wins this thread by making me google "Alabama Hooker".

              I have two holsters from Tommy Theis. They are a lot like the Crossbreeds but cheaper. Lifetime warranty too...

                Another thing is should I get one with or without a thumb break?

                    I have been doing quite a bit of research on this myself and just ordered a Remora no-clip IWB holster. Have heard nothing but great things about these holsters! Check 'em out here: http://remoraholsters.com/No_Clip_Holsters.html

                      +1 on Remora, but I don't think I'd carry a 1911 in one. Not cocked and locked anyway. Just asking for trouble. No offense meant, I know plenty of people that ccw a 1911, but I'm not man enough to try it, least of all on something like the Remora that wouldn't cover the hammer.

                        Don't understand...are they pocket holsters? Where/how do they attach to anything?

                          I love my remora as well. My snubby remora actually fits my cw9 really well.

                          Buy one, so cheap and probably the most comfortable holster on the market. Fits any position iwb.

                          Maybe of a sticky material when heated up it will not move at all.

                            I personally think the remora is too sticky for most pockets. It'll stay put there almost too well, hard to get mine in my pocket because of the grippy-ness. I wear it IWB and it stays in place like you wouldn't believe. Very adjustable b/c no clip to be placed in a 'fixed' position on your belt. You can go deep, shallow, cant as far as you like. Left side, right side, appendix, etc. Belt loops are no issue. Put it anywhere.

                            I now carry both my TP9 and my Sig P250C in a Remora and have no issues w/ comfort, weight, etc. I find it so comfortable and load bearing that I don't even carry my P9 much anymore.
