How do you like that UCH, David904? I own no Kydex, but I decided to try one and picked that holster. Its currently sitting at the post office waiting for me, the postal worker decided not to deliver sat. because of rain. Since the post office is only open until 5, I probably won't be able to grab it until later in the week or weekend :banghead:

Kimber Classic Royal fullsize in a Milt Sparks #1 Heritage IWB.

1) Carried condition 1.
2) Polished blue
3) I prefer 5" fullsize 1911s, so I have no problem drawing the gun.

This Milt Sparks Summer Special II is nice and comfortable...



...but, my favorite and most used is this Kydex one made by BearClaw.





But sometimes this one...


Or this one...


And even this one...

I live in IN, but I routinely conceal a parkerized 5" m1911A1 under a black t-shirt. It's always in Condition One.

The 5", as others have said, is not awkward at all with the proper holster and belt. I ordered a belt from thebeltman.net and a Canute (IWB w/ loops) from ubgholsters.com. Total cost was <$150, and well worth it.

Since I live in Retardoland, AKA Illinois, I'll never find out.
