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 carry a glock 17 on one side and two fully loaded magazines on the other and it works just fine. It actually helps balance the weight out pretty well. As far as jumping up and down, I have done everything and the most that has happened is that the shirt will ride up just a little. I would imagine that the more movement you do, the more the shirt will ride up. I ordered my shirt tight enough that it stays fairly well put, even with a lot of movement. If you are not sure about the size, go small. You might feel confined (more like a compression shirt) but it would restrict the movement of your gun and magazines.

It's held up extremely well actually with regular carry over the last year. My issue is simply that with repeated sitting and standing, bending over, getting in and out of the car etc. the gun wants to ride up and off of the yellow post that's holding it in place. I think tension needs to be increased so I don't always feel as if my gun is going to fall out of my pants and the holster. This and this issue alone is the reason I rarely use this holster now. It's a shame too, because I really wanted to like it.

I have not had this problem with my holster. It's a little snug initially when the holster is brand new, but it loosens up fairly quickly and I have not had any issues.

My full size 1911 fits perfectly. I suspect yours would be too loose and not "lock" in place. You could take it to a gun store that carries the Fobus and try it out, though.

I have mine loaded with a number of handgun rounds; .40 S&W;, 357 Sig, .357 Magnum, .38 Special & 12 ga. Low Brass for Clays. About 700 rounds combined plus Peltor Electronic Muffs, Revision StingerHawk Specs, pockets for 14 magazines, a Sig Mosquito, a .357 Mag Snubby & with enough room left over for all my cleaning supplies. All of this without any "sag" in the bottom at all. My Sig P239 SAS stays on my hip, but I am real happy with it so far... Lloyd

Agree you will need large for this firearm. However, I find weight of my Glock 27 causes unwanted sag over long day. Works, but I prefer single stack weight with this item.

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.

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.

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...

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

I cant imagine any activity causing your weapon to bounce out of this holster. Unless your vigorous activity includes being upside down I wouldn't worry. I've never had an issue with the sights dragging on my xds 45.

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.

Yes, I believe it will fit with no problem. I have a full size 1911, have not tried but easily holds a Glock 21.

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.

Yes absolutely. I have worn a blackhawk holster with my full frame 1911 with no issue.
