Advice on concealed carry 1911
Posted on 10/1/16 at 3:03 pm

I'm debating concealed carrying my Colt Delta Elite. I've never attempted to carry a full size 1911. Anyone on here carry a full size? What carry positions and holsters work best?
Thanks

I've carried my colt 1911. It's not super comfortable but possible and I'm sure over time I'd get used to it. I have a leather OWB. It's a good quality but I can't recall the name.left handed so I carry about 8 o'clock

Yes, I conceal a delta elite in a crossbreed IWB holster. You can't be small and conceal a gun like that. I'm 6'2" 220lbs, that helps conceal a big pistol like that.

Only complaining I have heard from people carrying 1911s is they feel like a boat anchor. Always carry hammer back safety on.

Carry a 1911 Commander Size in a Savoy Leather IWB holster, very comfortable with a good leather belt.

Full size Ruger SR1911, crossbreed super tuck deluxe, Sometimes 3 o'clock but mostly 5 o'clock.
And I'll second what KR said about being a bigger person.

Can't speak to carrying a full size 1911, but I carry an Ultra CDP II Kimber that is easy enough to carry. I carry in a high noon holster. I've tried multiple guns for carry - Sig P239, H&K P2000, Glock 30, etc. By far and away the Kimber is the most pleasant to carry concealed, for me.
