Oracle alert: I am looking for a quality OWB Holster for my 9mm Commander 1911

[MilitantBEEMER]

So I ran across this beauty yesterday and I am looking for some quality leather. I prefer OWB.

What say you oracles of 1911 holsters?

(I would even consider a gently used one if anyone has one laying around)

Wright Leather is one of my favorites. I only carry OWB and their Predator is super comfy and pulls the pistol in tight. I have two 1911 Predators, for Government and Commander length pistols. I also have a Wright Outsider paddle holster for when I need to have quick on/off carry.

Predator™ Pancake Holster

Check out the Predator pancake leather holster that is taking the concealed carry community by storm. This leather holster is extremely low profile and slim for easy concealment. It holds very tightly to the body by design and is incredibly comfortable.

Outsider™ Paddle Holster

The Outsider™ Paddle Holster is comfortable and sturdy. It just might be the easiest and most versatile holster we offer in the form of a paddle holster.

I’ve got three Milt Sparks rigs. Long wait and top dollar but worth it. Waiting now on another from Tucker Gunleather but that one is for a S&W.

I am a long time fan of the Don Hume J.I.T.

I’ll add in William Davis holsters too. And if you’re willing to go old school and send a self addressed envelope and letter through the mail, Thad Rybka does really good holsters.

He makes a model called the Rhodesian that works great.

One thing to keep in mind while searching, typically the holsters will work for full length, commander length, and officer length. The holsters are mostly one size fits all. For that reason, I opted for a pancake style holster with a shallow pouch. I’ve recently started carrying an officer’s model, and I struggled to find a holster that didn’t have excess leather length below the barrel. It was an extra 2” of wasted leather to try and conceal. I ended up buying a 3 slot leather pancake holster from Relentless Tactical, and it fits my officer’s model perfectly. Your Kimber looks shorter than a traditional commander length, but I could be wrong.

It is 4” and I think the Commander is technically 4.25”? Thank you for the suggestion.

Bitterroot gunleather and swordslinger both make awesome holsters if you don't mind a wait. Or they occasionally make some ready to ship ones of your lucky enough to snag one.
