looking for a holster for SR1911 any ideas (bikers)?

[68kidd]

i recently purchased a SR1911 my first 1911. Looking for a decent holster that will conceal it good ( i travel to Ohio often). I have a king tuck for my Springfield sub-compact that i like. I also just purchased my first bike and plan to carry it while riding some.

I recommend the crossbreed supertuck for IWB carry, I'm a convert to them and they rock! For OWB I would say something with retention or a strap so it doesn't move while on the bike.

Garrett Industries(Silent thunder ...my favorite holster) or pretty much any belt loop/thumb break.

The Garretts are super high quality, and really do a good job of "retaining" the gun...they are not "active" retention so there is no clip or lock, but you really have to make the effort to draw the gun...its not just going to fall out of the holster.

I thought I would hate the kydex because Ive had such bad experiences with it...but I really like it...Ive got a whole pile of 1911 holsters and I carry the Garrett the most

God bless

Check out OldFaithful holsters for Hybrid and Philster for all kydex both are the best in there styles and neither will break the bank and have fast turn arounds.

Given that you are asking specifically about the Ruger 1911, this thread is the definitive thread on how to carry Rugers version on John Brownings iconic masterpiece : https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo..._his_pants_against_his_twigs_and_berries.html

To me, I guess there is still a question to be asked. What kind of riding are you doing? (sport bike or cruiser)

This mattered to me, because of riding position and I found my IWB, while riding my GSXR-1000, to be uncomfortable. The Kawi Mean-Streak on the other hand, was just fine for an IWB.

Just a few more things to take into consideration. Either way, congrats on the bike and the 1911 purchases!

You do know that an Indiana ltch is no good in Ohio don't you? It's your rear end but why chance it unless you have another permit that covers Ohio?

I just today bought this one, Elite SOB Back Holster. I've been wanting a small of the back holster for my PT1911 and so far I really like it, and I was on my bike when I got it so it's good to go for riding. It does "print" with a full size pistol but it's made in the USA and at Quick Cash pawn shop in Greendale it was $32 dollars! So to me it's a win!!!

Tommy Theis (pronounced Tice) makes wonderful IWB holsters. He is usually about 4 weeks out in production since he makes all of them himself. I have one for my Sig 1911 and ride in the car to eastern Kentucky and don't feel it. A friend of mine has one for his Smith and Wesson and loves it as well. He is worth looking into. www.theishiolsters.com

Crossbreed Supertuck. Love mine. You never hear anything but good about them. Seems they really stand behind their products too. Check out their "seconds" too as I'm pretty sure I've seen a lot of 1911 holsters on there. I don't believe it's linked on their site, so just google it.

So... I was feeling nice. Haha. Here ya go...

response regarding possum_128. I was going to say the same thing. I called Ohio, my daughter lives there, indiana residents cant get one , only residents

 

[BlueEagle]

There are other permits you CAN get that will cover you in Ohio. I'm sure the OP is being responsible; lets not derail his thread.

Keep an eye on Raven concealment systems... if the add a 1911 it might do the trick

thanks for the input

Thanks. I will look at and compare reviews of all suggested . I will be riding a cruiser Honda VTX 1300R and i have permits from other states so i am legal in Ohio.

Deep conceal holsters - sweet shoulder holsters and I doubled checked and the SR is on their list of compatible firearms. Seriously the most comfortable holster I've owned

Love my Fobus holsters..................I think I have them for most of my pistols.

Even found one for my MKII Ruger.
