Want To Buy 1911 holster OWB (OKC)

[Jgibs0321]

Looking for a leather or kydex OWB holster for a colt govt 1911, full size gun, no rail, no optics. Will attach a photo of the gun. Figured Id ask in the event some guys had something they werent using any more that I might could purchase. I hear kydex rubs the blueing off faster than leather, but any gun in a holster wears. So Im open to any comments or recommendations or hand me downs. I use a 1.5” reinforced gun belt. Thank you OSA

Hundreds of choices out there and that adds to confusion. Leather, kydex, etc. I have a Fobus and Safariland that I use for two of my 911.

Why don't the Kydex manufacturers line their holsters with suede?

Look on Colts website, I have this holster, one of the most comfortable holsters I have ever used. Out of stock at this moment but keep checking back.

Mernickle is the manufacturer, you could order one from them but it will not have the Colt Logo

Thanks for the recommendation. Hows the retention? (Havent used leather holsters but Im pretty positive the gun wont just jump out on its own!)

Suede will hold dirt and rub it against the finish, same for moisture. Garrett's silent thunder and a few others have a smooth leather lining.

Retention is great. My favorite holster & I have a few.

Ever so often I see Milt Sparks (that are not at rip-off prices above those listed on their site) on fleabay. Fine holsters, as the 9 month wait time would indicate. When I ordered my first one about fifteen years ago wait time was far less.

Check out versacarry. Good quality leather and a good price
