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 keep my full size M&P9; on the top shelf with no issues. I also have room up there for another magazine, a few shot gun shells and an LED light mounted above it. It's not necessarily roomy, but I've never banged the sides when removing it.

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.

No. The one I have at least, for my J-frame, rides high. It is perfect for just behind the strong side hip. Also fits well for cross draw in front of weak side hip. Maybe the holsters for bigger guns hang differently, but the little one is not at all suited for hanging down your leg.

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.

I keep a ruger LCP in there and it's pretty tight without much wiggle room. Even a slim frame 9mm might be too big. The picture here is deceiving the holster only fits the LCP up to the trigger guard.

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.

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 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.

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.

there actually isnt much that keeps it from sagging. its a little sturdy (somehow) but it does wiggle some and is a bit annoying to adjust. sorry if this doesnt help much. also, like Michael Morash said, its a great deal for that price.

I just got my holster and I really like it. I put my twin 9mm S&W pistols in it. They are full size with 4 inch barrel. The keep that snapps the pistol in is ajustable to hold different size pistols.

I've carried a Sig Sauer P229 in it. I hope you can use that as a comparison, since the size difference isn't that great.

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

I have a Springfield 1911 standard size and it fits like a glove. Great holster, great seller.

Well.........I am not trying to rain on your parade, but many old school 1911 lovers (myself included) carry full size 1911s. That's not to say there is not a market for the compact size, but many collectors and concealed carriers are toting around full-sized, mil-spec weapons. The Colt Commander, Kimber Pro Carry II, Sig Sauer, etc....are all superb products and easier to carry, but most diehards still prefer full-sized. More than likely overcompensating....
