Need a new 1911 holster

[Mgderf]

O.k. you Ingo 1911 guru's, I have a problem.
I have a couple of full size 1911's, 5" barrels.
I love them all, as I should, but I have the same problem with all 3 guns.
Occasionally I will go to unholster and find my magazine is unlatched.

Somehow, when I move, I am managing to hit the mag release.
Anyone else have this issue?
I'm wearing a good leather Bianco holster on a good gun belt.

I thought about a shoulder rig but that won't work for the summer.

No, but I highly recommend this brand. Have several for various models, 1911 included.

Second vote for 1791, I have several including a 5" 1911 that I'm carrying right now. Good high quality holsters. Dealing with the company is very easy too. You can order direct or on Amazon.

Nice, but I really want a retention strap.
I'm sure they are available.
Have you ever had the problem I described?

I believe they make one with a retention strap. They make a LOT of different models. And no, I've never accidentally dropped the mag with this holster or my Galco Combat Master.

Only issue I’ve ever had was the strap flipping off the oversized safety on my springer loaded.

1791 Gunleather : thank me/us later

The Galco Fletch has a retention strap and carries well.

I think you must have an issue with the mag release on the gun. I have never had that issue with any of my guns or holsters. I had a Kimber that the safety would knock off too easy.

Ordered a 1791 for the 5" 1911
See how it goes.
Thanks for the help.

Here's what I use.

Never had a Mag problem with any of my 1911's.

I know some rant and rave over the Kydex style holsters but I don't care for them at all.
Leather is my preference.

Absolutely. I'm a leather guy too, I don't much care of the sound or feel of Kydex.

Milt Sparks 55BN is the answer you seek

I've got the BH1 and live it. Looks good too.

 

[bobzilla]

Anyone have one for the compact? My main complaint with the one I use now is it hangs too low. I’ve worn it for a couple years and it’s about ready for a replacement.

Samesies w/ mag holster as well

I've got that magazine holster too signature brown color.

I've got that magazine holster too signature brown color.

My holster could use a good conditioning. The mag pouch sees less use. I have a kydex single mag I use most of the time out of convenience.
My bottom end is crimped a smidge as it's a CMD size. I would rather have an extra bit covering the muzzle and sight than the optic cut version (BH1s?) that fits 4.25"ers.

@Mgderf did you get your thumb break version? Forgot to ask earlier.
