I carry a full size 1911 at times, does it sag at all or does it stay up for those of you carry a bigger pistol?

I carry a M&P; Shield but I do have a full size 1911 and tried it for a couple of hours so I could answer your question. My belt did not sag. I wear it tight and on the hip.

I dont think it would hold up a 1911 owb. Its pretty thin. I use a iwb crossbreed 40 holster and its not great. My biggest issue is i cant get it tight enough. The thing is impossible to tighten down. I only got it to wear to the airport where I work, and Im not carrying there, but on the occasions have used it to carry I was overly impressed.

This belt will barely hold up your pants. I returned it and bought the double sided 5.11 belt. That one will hold a gun and other heavy belt utilities. The 1.5 inch belt I bought and would buy again is the 5.11 Tactical.59568 Adult's Double Duty TDU Belt 1.5-in.

Sorry I can't help, I don't carry. The web is pretty heavy, though, and the belt doesn't slip on the buckle. A full size 1911, loaded, must be around 3 pounds so I don't know if it will sag or not.

Hey, while this is a great belt and I'm still very happy with mine. I would classify this as more of a fashion belt rather than function. Because it doesn't have the velcro locking buckle like some of the rigger's belts it tends to work loose and sag under the weight of even a medium framed pistol like a Glock 19 worn outside the waistband. Since you mentioned carrying a 1911 I assume you would be looking at using an outside the waistband holster as well. I think you would probably be happier with either a good thick leather belt or a rigger's belt. Hope this helps.

I can carry a Springfield 9SC and a Ruger 22 in it without any problem, but my husband can't carry a 1911 and anything else in it because the butts will rub together. Carrying two guns I can't carry any magazines in it, it is just too tight a fit.

It comes in one size......which fits most guns, but probably not a full size 1911. For your mid size semi auto's, with up to a 4 inch barrel, you'll be fine.

Your barrel length is very short. The holster design should hold your 1911 securely although the slide may not fill the holster.

It stacks noticeably less but the take-up and over-travel remain unchanged. After market connectors are available to eliminate the over-travel, but the take-up remains. I like the minus connector, but it is definitely no 1911 trigger.

What do fat guys and women have in common? We both have breast! I wear mine up high where my pistol is basically in my arm pit. Took about 10 min. to get used to. To me, it still beats the heck out of every other option. I'm in and out of the truck all day and work outside. I wear this holster everyday with a large fram pistol and I love it.

I carry a 380 Bodygaurd and it is very secure. The shorts are pretty short, so I wear other ones over them, allowing for even more support. I haven't had any problem with the gun slipping up.

Hi Glyn, The Sneaky Pete is made for smaller guns such as the Ruger LCP. The 1911 is a little big for such a holster. If you are looking to use the 1911 as a carry gun, you may want to look at some of the many types of shoulder holsters. Good support and easy draw with some practice and with a full clip you don't have to worry about keeping from pull your pants up, if you have a belt clip holster. You have a great gun there, stay safe with it and I pary you never have to use it in self defense. Best of luck in your search. Robert

Hello Ed, Mine is the model for the M&P; 45 standard belt holster it has a passive retention system so it fits snug right out of the bag it also has a tension adjustment screw just below the trigger guard cup so you can loosen or tighten it to your feel. Mine holds my pistol very snug but does not hamper my draw. Just remember to keep your finger out of the trigger guard when drawing your pistol until you are very well trained in your draw for safety. I hope this answers your question about the holster. I love mine. Don

It holds my Colt 1911-mark70, Glock 27, SW 469 no problem. Will not hold SW m-19 4" wheel gun.. should hold any auto without issue...

Mine stays tucked up underneath the seat. I haven't had any problems with it sagging down.

Thats a good question! I'm buying a Judge soon myself. It sure doesn't look like it's deep enough but Do keep a Kimber .45 1911 in mine with room to spare. I would compare lengths. Width wise it looks like it will fit if you cut out some of the padding. I also have a .357 revolver fits with no problem. Hope this helped you.

This holster is for large handguns. I put my 5" 1911 and my 5.5" Ruger Redhawk 44 mag in this holster. I hope that gives you an idea. It might be too long but it is universal so it would hold it no problem.

It is taller but fits fine on my glock 22 with a level 2 blackhawk and spend its nights in my night stand. I carry it with no issues or snags. It is great for either ccw or the home.

You could use it on the left side but it feels more comfortable on the right. They make one for left side carry though. I don't understand the second question but the fatboy was way too small for my needs and 1911. I replaced it with the jumbo version which is roomier and perfect. And its not that heavy as some people seem to think.

I really like the holster. I bought it for a 9mm that is the size of a mid-1911. It works great. Your gun might be a little smaller but I believe, due to the adjustable features on this, that is should work good for you.

It will be tight and small..I had to use my springfield xdm compact 40s&w.; 3.8 inch barrel. Because my 1911 or my 45 acp was too big...the holster is made of good quality but they made holster small..i had to break it in for about a week before it took shape and fitted well after. It's a great idea and I put a nice 320 lumen tactical flashlight (surefire) in the flashlight holder. It serves it's purpose but no way does it fit ALL handguns. I hope this helps. ..I like it and I would recommend
