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.

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 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.

I can stuff my wife's glock 19 in it and it zips up, though a tad snug. Would not want to pull it quick. My Sig P238 is a loose fit and should be tighter for a confident draw.

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

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

The advertising info says it will carry anything up to a full sized 1911. I have gotten a 1911 in mine, but it's a tight fit. I don't think it would be at all comfortable. I carry a Taurus Slim in mine. I have carried a S&W; SV9 in it and it does OK; however, I wouldn't want to carry anything much bigger in it. Checking the dimensions of the SV9 and comparing against the M&P;, they are close. I'd say it should work.

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 .

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

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.

It holds my 1911 45 just fine. The leg straps appear to be long enough for bigger legs.

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.

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

I like the holster. I wear button up shirts and it fits comfortably under my arm. I wouldn't carry anything bigger than a .45. I've asked people I know of course if they can tell I was carrying. None of them could see it.

The holster itself does not take up much room it is nice and compact it's the gun that's big. I normally wear Size 32 and if I have a belt on I have to loosen the belt about 3 notches. I find it to be uncomfortable to conceal carry bcs even tthough its a sub compact its really big.

I just tried it with my full size FNX40 and it fit great... I think the 1911 would be just fine.
