I have a VM-2 IWB holster from Milt Sparks for my 1911 but now I'm looking for an OWB holster. I know there are many quality holsters out there but I've narrowed it down to either the 55BN or #60 TK both are from Milt Sparks. This will be for my full sized 1911. Which of these would be the most comfortable and concealable?

I've been using Kramers vertical scabbard for years. It is of the same design & cant as the 55BN.

Your body shape / size & clothing choices will have an effect on whether or not you can conceal with it.

That said, with a loose, textured overshirt, I've had good success concealing a Commander (same grip dimensions) with that holster.

i'm currently using a alessi ACP to carry my full sized beretta 92/96...this is also the same basic holster as the sparks 55BN. it conceals well under a sweatshirt or untucked long t-shirt...pulling the gun butt in tight to the body.

all the major custom holster makers make a version of this same holster (alessi makes 3 versions: DOJ, ACP and Heine). it is a great basic holster which has held up well over time (like the sparks summer special IWB). the design is based on the original nelson professional (he also designed the summer special)
