[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2900844, member: 10465"] Depends on the pistol and the front sight. A holster that provides full muzzle coverage [I]will[/I] protect the front sight better and tends too pull a longer-barreled handgun in a little bit tighter to your side. But in terms of IWB only, it really doesn't make much difference. For OWB, I have couple of belt slide holsters that I can use with 1911 pistols with different barrel lengths though, and don't worry about printing too much. The pic of the first setup here was made by an OSA member, (Gone_fishn). It works fine for either my full size Government model or my Commander. I wanted something I could mainly use at the range for either gun. The second pic is a full coverage Belt Scabbard by Kramer Leather specifically made just for a Commander. It really pulls the gun in tight. The third pic is a Nightingale Leather Snap Rig, OWB, again made just for a Commander. It's just a beautiful piece of leather work IMO and the fit and finish on this holster is dang near perfect...and it should be; they are like $140 and a 6-months wait. I have another one that is a cheap Tagua belt slide I think I got on eBay, it's at the bottom of the last pic. I've never even worn it yet, and probably won't. The last pic of the batch for my 1911's contains a photo at about 3 O'clock of a Milt Sparks Summer Special II for IWB and it is the ultimate in concealment for me, for this gun. I also have a really nice Kydex IWB in that last pic from RM Holsters called the Lowrider that is easy on/easy off for quick trips to the Stop-N-Rob.
