New Holster

[Leeann]

Strongside Select from El Paso Saddlery - got here today:

The mag pouch is Galco; I bought it used from a member on another forum.


I am really, really happy...

Lefty. You weirdo.

I'm left handed. We are the only on in our right minds.

Exactly

I like how the snap wraps around the rear of the frame. My belt holster has the snap real high making it print pretty bad.

Once I got used to where it was, it's really easy to unsnap with my thumb while drawing, too.

It's more natural than I thought it would be and, as you say, more concealable (even though I live in MD and that's not an option....YET).

Is this a RIA 1911A1? Does hammer have to remain cocked as it looks to be in picture?

 

[Leeann]

It is an RIA 1911A1.

The 1911 is designed to be carried in Condition 1, which is cocked and locked, so the holster is designed to accommodate a cocked hammer. That said, I haven't tried the thumb break with the hammer down.

It's a nice feeling having the right holster. I carry a Smith and Wesson Model 10 4 incher. The holster I have sits really high and has a strong cant. It doesn't work for some folks, but it works for me. It's a S&W holster as well. Figured as long as I had the gun, I might as well have a S&W holster.

looks good

 

[Leeann]

Nope, there's nothing like the right holster. It's a high-ride holster, but no extreme cant.

It's really, really comfortable.

Mine is a wee bit sharp.

Joe, you still haven't gotten a real holster belt yet?

 

[Leeann]

Yup, that's a wee bit sharp

I have. This picture was taken before. I have two actually, but haven't taken any pics since.

Holster belts make all the difference.

Do you happen to own a bar?
