I carry a full size 1911 at times, does it sag at all or does it stay up for those of you carry a bigger pistol?

I carry a M&P; Shield but I do have a full size 1911 and tried it for a couple of hours so I could answer your question. My belt did not sag. I wear it tight and on the hip.

I dont think it would hold up a 1911 owb. Its pretty thin. I use a iwb crossbreed 40 holster and its not great. My biggest issue is i cant get it tight enough. The thing is impossible to tighten down. I only got it to wear to the airport where I work, and Im not carrying there, but on the occasions have used it to carry I was overly impressed.

This belt will barely hold up your pants. I returned it and bought the double sided 5.11 belt. That one will hold a gun and other heavy belt utilities. The 1.5 inch belt I bought and would buy again is the 5.11 Tactical.59568 Adult's Double Duty TDU Belt 1.5-in.

Sorry I can't help, I don't carry. The web is pretty heavy, though, and the belt doesn't slip on the buckle. A full size 1911, loaded, must be around 3 pounds so I don't know if it will sag or not.

Hey, while this is a great belt and I'm still very happy with mine. I would classify this as more of a fashion belt rather than function. Because it doesn't have the velcro locking buckle like some of the rigger's belts it tends to work loose and sag under the weight of even a medium framed pistol like a Glock 19 worn outside the waistband. Since you mentioned carrying a 1911 I assume you would be looking at using an outside the waistband holster as well. I think you would probably be happier with either a good thick leather belt or a rigger's belt. Hope this helps.

I put an LC 9 and an S&W; bodyguard 380 in mine and it does good. I have not tried a 1911,it would be close if at all.

It's held up extremely well actually with regular carry over the last year. My issue is simply that with repeated sitting and standing, bending over, getting in and out of the car etc. the gun wants to ride up and off of the yellow post that's holding it in place. I think tension needs to be increased so I don't always feel as if my gun is going to fall out of my pants and the holster. This and this issue alone is the reason I rarely use this holster now. It's a shame too, because I really wanted to like it.

Yes it will hold a full size 1911...bought this vest 1 year ago and love it...very durable...I do not have a problem with barrel being exposed...FYI

Yes, I believe it will fit with no problem. I have a full size 1911, have not tried but easily holds a Glock 21.

What do fat guys and women have in common? We both have breast! I wear mine up high where my pistol is basically in my arm pit. Took about 10 min. to get used to. To me, it still beats the heck out of every other option. I'm in and out of the truck all day and work outside. I wear this holster everyday with a large fram pistol and I love it.

I've carried a Sig Sauer P229 in it. I hope you can use that as a comparison, since the size difference isn't that great.

My 1911 is a full size Sig Sauer Spartan edition, and one can hear a scrachy noise that it appears to come from the barrel, when the slide is being pulled back and also when the slide its released from that position.For that reason I decide to stop the use of the compensator. Too bad because on my opinion it looks terrific with it.

My full size 1911 fits perfectly. I suspect yours would be too loose and not "lock" in place. You could take it to a gun store that carries the Fobus and try it out, though.

My Glock and Sig mags fit in real snug. I'm not sure if the 1911's would since it's a single stack mag.

Yes absolutely. I have worn a blackhawk holster with my full frame 1911 with no issue.

"Like a glove"!! I have a similar size firearm (Springfield 45 XD full size ACP) that I carry at all times. Now I'm 6,1 247 lbs and it's totally undetectable Evan with the extra magazine. I love the way you can configure the holster until it fits you. My advice is buy it and I don't think you'll use any other inside holster.

It comes in one size......which fits most guns, but probably not a full size 1911. For your mid size semi auto's, with up to a 4 inch barrel, you'll be fine.

It is taller but fits fine on my glock 22 with a level 2 blackhawk and spend its nights in my night stand. I carry it with no issues or snags. It is great for either ccw or the home.

Agree you will need large for this firearm. However, I find weight of my Glock 27 causes unwanted sag over long day. Works, but I prefer single stack weight with this item.

Hello Ed, Mine is the model for the M&P; 45 standard belt holster it has a passive retention system so it fits snug right out of the bag it also has a tension adjustment screw just below the trigger guard cup so you can loosen or tighten it to your feel. Mine holds my pistol very snug but does not hamper my draw. Just remember to keep your finger out of the trigger guard when drawing your pistol until you are very well trained in your draw for safety. I hope this answers your question about the holster. I love mine. Don
