how do you carry your officers sized 1911?

[elpenguin0717]

i was wondering if any of you had a good method to conceal your 1911 even though its a 3in its still kinda big and dont really know how i should carry it i would rather not carry it on my hip i like being sneaky

I carry either a full size 1911 or 5" XD Tactical on my hip completely unnoticed.I carry both IWB in an MTAC. How sneaky do you want to be?

 

[elpenguin0717]

well i usually wear either a button up shirt or tshirt nothing too long around my waist for the most part i just dont want it to be seen at a first glance......id be fine with somthing that would conceal it to the point where only if somone is looking real hard for it would they notice it

I have carried mine in a chest holster. I actually got it at the gun show about a year ago. Its an elastic band that goes around my chest, but it can get annoying. Thats why I started carrying on my hip.

small of back belt holster. It helps to be fat and wear loose clothes

Crossdraw. Rides around 10 or 11 o'clock and is hard to detect if you want it to be . . .

I'm 6'4", 175 pounds, built like a capital "T," and I carry a Glock 17 or Taurus 24/7 in .45 IWB just behind my right hip. Its just about as easy to get to as if its in a traditional hip holster, and with nothing more than a t-shirt, it completely disappears.

Just have to watch out when bending over or reaching for items up high on the shelf, where it may peek out.

What Blue Eagle Said. Also, buy a nice holster as that makes all the difference in the world. I carry a full-size 1911 at my four o'clock, and unless I bend over, it's virtually invisible unless you are really looking hard.
