Just ordered a new holster.....
I've got 3 OWB holsters now.
The first two I bought.....well, I was trying to get by 'cheap'. However, I found them lacking several ways. The first leather holster I bought was a Triple K 'thumb break'. It allowed my pistol to 'move around' on my belt too much for my liking. The belt loop is a 'one size fits all'.......meaning that it'll fit up to a 2" belt. I wear a 1 1/2" belt. So, the second holster I bought was a Blackhawk Serpa CQC. Plastic. I loved the retention and adjustment for different belt widths, but hated how 'far out' away from my body that it held my pistol. Plus, somehow it scratched the top of the slide of my 1911A1. Also came with a 'paddle conversion'. My third holster is from Springfield Armory. It's the leather OWB for the 5" 1911 that they sell. I love it!!! It has great retention, looks good and holds my pistol tight to my side. The holster I just ordered is from a small holster maker based in the Twin Cities MN area. He's gotten a lot of reviews on his holsters from members of 'The Carry Forum' (a MN based forum pertaining to legally carrying a pistol in MN). He's also been featured in a national magazine. I've been wanting a IWB holster for some time now, so I figured, "What the hell!" and ordered it. Anyways, here's the guy/company I ordered it from. http://sideguardholsters.com/index.html I ordered the Double Tuck Snap IWB. He doesn't have the exact holster that I ordered pictured on his website, but here's some pics of the 'clip' type of what I ordered. http://sideguardholsters.com/holsters/DblTuckClip.htm |

I too like the Triple K..........except for the belt loop. It's too wide and there's not enough stitching. I had to have it restitched once due to pulled threads. I don't recall snagging my pistol grip on anything to make the threads rip.

I have Triple K holsters for 1911, XDm, SAA and Python, and two Triple K gunbelts (.357 loops and .44/45 loops). For the price they are excellent, well made all purpose gunleather. Of course there are more specialized (and $$$) holsters for specific needs, but I likes me some Triple K.
