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.

The holster itself does not take up much room it is nice and compact it's the gun that's big. I normally wear Size 32 and if I have a belt on I have to loosen the belt about 3 notches. I find it to be uncomfortable to conceal carry bcs even tthough its a sub compact its really big.

I bought this for my full size Ruger 1911. It seems like it was made for it as it fits just right. It makes the gun look that much more intimidating. Honestly, I am not sure if it truly has helped with the recoil other than adding some counter weight. Either way, I am happy with my purchase.

It fits a full sized .45acp 1911 but i think it might be a bit big for the small frame 38. then again i haven't handled a small frame 38 before.The strap to hold the gun in place (behind the hammer) is adjustable to a degree. not sure if that helps any. if your willing to risk 12$ to find out, go ahead and pick one up.

I cant imagine any activity causing your weapon to bounce out of this holster. Unless your vigorous activity includes being upside down I wouldn't worry. I've never had an issue with the sights dragging on my xds 45.

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.

Glad to help--The top is magnetic, and a full-size 1911 would honestly be tough to pull out in an emergency; I recommend this purse more for a compact weapon.Best regards ~Chris

It will be tight and small..I had to use my springfield xdm compact 40s&w.; 3.8 inch barrel. Because my 1911 or my 45 acp was too big...the holster is made of good quality but they made holster small..i had to break it in for about a week before it took shape and fitted well after. It's a great idea and I put a nice 320 lumen tactical flashlight (surefire) in the flashlight holder. It serves it's purpose but no way does it fit ALL handguns. I hope this helps. ..I like it and I would recommend

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.

I'm not sure to be honest with you about this particular gun. I do know the Sig Sauer 1911 22auto sits pretty good in the holster. I haven't had any issues with it. I don't know if this answers your question enough to purchase the holster.

I have mine loaded with a number of handgun rounds; .40 S&W;, 357 Sig, .357 Magnum, .38 Special & 12 ga. Low Brass for Clays. About 700 rounds combined plus Peltor Electronic Muffs, Revision StingerHawk Specs, pockets for 14 magazines, a Sig Mosquito, a .357 Mag Snubby & with enough room left over for all my cleaning supplies. All of this without any "sag" in the bottom at all. My Sig P239 SAS stays on my hip, but I am real happy with it so far... Lloyd

It holds my 1911 45 just fine. The leg straps appear to be long enough for bigger legs.

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.

Yes, the shirt will handle a 1911. I have carried two fullsize glocks or two 1911s, although two 1911s are just heavy in general.

the loops on mine are right at 1.75 so you should be in good shape,I don't even use a belt, the loops will actually clip over the waste band on your jeans and be very secure. I carry a glock 17 and a full size para 1911 with no issues, and you can also set the loops different to get the tilt the way you want it. i have 2 of these and really like them. the leather will be a bit stiff for a while but not bad, after a couple uses, you won't know it is there. hope this helps.

I keep a ruger LCP in there and it's pretty tight without much wiggle room. Even a slim frame 9mm might be too big. The picture here is deceiving the holster only fits the LCP up to the trigger guard.
