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.

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 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...

I just tried it for appendix carry. It works, however I find the best position for this particular holster is at my 4 o'clock (just past my right side pocket). So it could work for a short gun like a .380 but it could never work with my 1911.

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.

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....

I carry a Kimber CDPII 1911 in the "cocked and locked" position all the time in this same holster, works great..

That's a affirmitve, it holds both my 1911's rock solid. Both full size and baby model (s). In my opinion Walter, you can't go wrong !!!

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.

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.

Glad to help-- The top is magnetic, and a full-size 1911 would honestly be tough to pull out in an emergency; I recommend this purse more for a compact weapon. Best regards ~ Chris

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.

In my holster, it seems as though there are two levels of "grip". If you push the gun in as hard and far as it will go, it is a bit tight removing it. But I find that if I don't push it quite so far down it still maintains retention, but comes out a bit easier, without giving me the feeling it will fall out. I probably would not jog with it unless pushed down all the way.

what make? I use it to hold my Tiberius 8 paintball pistol, which is a rather large item. This holster would easily hold a model 1911. I would say this would hold a revolver. Hope I helped.

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

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.
