I can't believe the comfort difference from an IWB. Of course I've only used 2 different IWB holsters so there isn't a whole lot to compare. Combined with the good belt the weight of a full sized all steel 1911 just isn't an issue. It doesn't feel like it is even there. A couple of times I actually had to remind myself that I was carrying a gun.
I bought a a Tucker HF-1. What a nice piece of work. It looks like it should last a long time. There are only two things that I would like to see improved is the addition of a sight channel, It seems that most holster makers are doing some sort of sight channel, and it could be a bit tighter. I won't be having the same problem Charles had of not being able to remove my gun. Despite those two small issues the HF-1 is a very good, quality holster. The price is reasonable. They range from $80 for the plain one, like I got, to almost $200 for full stampings and Texas concho. And, the maker is in Houston and they are readily available from many local gun stores. Shooter's Station in Conroe keeps a nice selction in stock.
New OWB holster. Man, what a difference!

Re: New OWB holster. Man, what a difference!
Can you please follow me around until my new holster gets broken in? You can repel boarders for me, while I'm getting my pistol into action.dws1117 wrote:I won't be having the same problem Charles had of not being able to remove my gun.

Chas.
