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.

The top is snug enough for safe retention and mine has retained its shape very well . When I holster my 1911 it always hits the mark - never a miss ! I would buy this item again without a second thought - but its made well enough that I won't have to ........ hope this helps .

Pick whichever size shirt you normally wear - the T needs to be snug so the weight of the pistol doesn't make that side of the shirt hang down. Use the large holder - the small holster is too small for a 45. I normally wear XL shirt - tried the 2X T and the arm holes were too big - gun hangs too low. I like my XL - got used to it as I wore it more.

No issue with any kind of collaspe, this is a very sturdy holster that retains my full size 1911 yet allows for a smooth draw and return(follow the break in instructions)

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 only used it once (then lost it somewhere) for 1911 frame Kimber and SIG. I suspect that if you cinch up the belt enough it will be snug. It is a solid holster for sure. Wish I could find it again.

About 1 inch, holds my sig 226 just fine but my Springfield .45 TRP is almost to heavy. I have a Browning buck mark with a red dot that has to be hung on its side so it takes up some room! The .45 ACP is by far the largest pistol I hang but I do like them. Oh also a .22, you have to hold the hanger because of hanger and bore size are tight.

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.

Steve, That seems odd to me. I have been carrying an airweight revolver in the holster for over a year now and the barrel does not come through. This has been in my jeans every single day and the holster looks brand new. I also have a P238 in the DeSantis holster and while I rarely carry it, the barrel does not stick out. It sounds like you do have the wrong size for the P238 because these are excellent holsters. Did you carry a larger weapon in the holster before?

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 bought this for my full size Ruger 1911. It seems like it was made for it as it fits just right. It makes the gun look that much more intimidating. Honestly, I am not sure if it truly has helped with the recoil other than adding some counter weight. Either way, I am happy with my purchase.

No sagging.I ended up hanging my tv and it looks amazing. Makes the tv stand look bigger.

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.

yes I had no problems carrying a full size xd 45 or full size 1911 45 I can't see where it wouldn't work I carry a xds 45 now and don't even know it's there most of the time hope this helps

Yes it's very sturdy. I bought this for my husband last Christmas and he wears his everyday. He has a Springfield 1911.

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...

The part that is designed for the pistol can hold a full size 1911, so a glock 21 will fit...I just don't like the holster they offer...the front sight can hang up during the draw, I have a walther ppq and I just lay the gun in there and it works fineThe full size 1911 would lay in there easily alsoThe pack is a little big .but it's better to have and not to need than to need and not to haveCheck out their website and you can see very descriptive pictures complete with measurements
