Leather for Ruger SR1911

[J-Bar]

A birdie told me I am getting a Ruger SR1911 for my birthday.

Is there anyone making a good OWB holster for the SR1911?

The SR1911 is a basic 5" 1911.

There are many holsters available. Everybody and their brother makes a holster for a 5" 1911. Some of the better known makers.

There are many more. If you knew what you'd like, I could narrow it down a bit.

Thanks. It is my first 1911...always been a wheel gun guy. I did not know if the dimensions of the SR1911 were different from other 1911s. Nice to know I have a variety of choices.

As usual, rcmodel is correct.


You could go old school, though it might not be practical.

This one was really tight, particularly since it was made with the tiny GI sights in mind.

I have been using a Galco Fletch a friend from another forum gave me with mine. http://www.opticsplanet.com/galco-f...plusbox-beta&gclid=CPyf_Lyr3r0CFUgA7AodjRoAvQ

Of course one of the great things about 1911's is there are a ton of choices when it comes to holsters for them.

Rigs for the SR1911 .....

I'd look at the well made Predator line from www.wrightleatherworks.com . It has a side shield & a band around the top to aid re-holsters.
It's leather & offered in a few colors(I like the coffee style).
Other top brands include; Mitch Rosen, Greg Kramer, Don Hume, Galco, Alessi, Ted Blocker, Mernickle, Kirkpatrick Leather, High Noon Holsters, Milt Sparks.

Armed professionals like horsehide leather for long term wear.
A good gun belt from Thebeltman.net or Galco may be smart too.
Contact the holster firm first to make sure they can create the style you want. Custom designs might take a few weeks or months too due to backlogs.

I'm new to 1911 carry and found this on at a local police supply that i think is nice since you can switch from owb to iwb

For concealment or field carry?

Man, you guys are killing me! How do I make a choice from all that beautiful work? Thanks for the leads, though. Having choices is good.

I was going to suggest a Sparks' VM2 but after seeing that Elephant setup I want that.
