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 ended up with mine about 1 inch higher. The amount of sag will depend on the preload setting you use, your weigh and your riding position. So you just see what works best for you.

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.

I just tested it with 500 rounds of 45 long colt. That's pretty heavy for my back. It did not look like it was about to come apart at all. Did not sag in the middle while using the shoulder strap. I had two 100 round plastic boxes and the rest were 50 round boxes. I'm sure I could have put my two Ruger Vaqueros in it also and the rest of my range gear. But I wouldn't want to carry it to far myself.

Mine stays tucked up underneath the seat. I haven't had any problems with it sagging down.

It's ok for a standard 1911 frame. the fit is very very tight. I had to leave my firearm in the holster for almost a month before it start to fit properly. The draw is rough due to the fit. If I got to make this purchase decision over again I would have saved the money and gone to www.aliengear.com. Much better holster and the price and warranty are awesome. I would say this holster is ok for a every once in while carry but not for a every day carry. hope this helps you.

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 have a glock up top and on fnx on the bottom. Glock is in a cc holster so im sure it will hold almost and avg size pistol.

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.

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.

I dont believe it will. My full size 1911 has play in it. I would not recommend this holster to anyone. It flops all over and does not stay against your leg. The rentemtion strap comstantly loosens itself up. Not a good holster by any means.

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.

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

Yes it will hold a full size 1911...bought this vest 1 year ago and love it...very durable...I do not have a problem with barrel being exposed...FYI

It might be kind of loose. I have a Glock 35 which is a large frame. The holster, however, is very adjustable. You can always return it. I'm sorry I couldn't provide more information.

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.

Your barrel length is very short. The holster design should hold your 1911 securely although the slide may not fill the holster.
