It may exceed your budget by just a few dollars, but you'll be happy that you spent the extra money for a long time.

TT Gunleather IWB Mikes Special is very similar to the milt sparks vm2 but it is canted slightly mor than the vm2 which makes the pistol ride lower and thus conceal better. It is 120 bucks and the wait time is far less than milt sparks. The quality is amazing as well.

Crossbreed supertuck. Funny that you bring them up. My IWB and OWB holsters for my MC Operator from Crossbreed shipped out today. I've never got a bad holster from them. Have ordered about 10 holsters from them for 6 different guns. Plus, they're a local Missouri company. |

This Thread is what you seek
For IWB I use a Milt Sparks Summer Special II, but I'm waiting on this to be finished and ship. Wanted something less prone to sweat and kydex is much faster for drawing and holstering. That said - it will get to your finish quicker, but I personally don't care....its a tool. Lots of love for the VMII - If i see one for sale on the EE - I'd snag it to try it, worse case is I'd get my money back if I sold it. For OWB I really like my Shadow Holster made by our very own member goodmedicine. His stuff is outstanding! Here is his ad in the EE AWESOME kit  DSC_4815 by The Dorsal Fin, on Flickr

Crossbreed supertuck. After looking up these holsters the crossbreed supertuck looks to be the only holster that the leather will cover the beaver tail on the 1911. |

You are worrying about nothing. The beavertail doesn't need to be covered for comfort unless you have something unusual about your anatomy.
Don't forget you will need a quality gunbelt for comfortable carry. ETA I carry a 1911 in a Brommeland Max-Con V which does cover the beavertail area but that area never digs into me. |

If you are getting one made ask for a "high sweat guard" (if kydex or leather) that will be the inside part that protects the gun from your sweat.
I have got a couple made from a local home business. SoCo Kydex out of Colorado Springs does a great job. There might be a maker closer to where you live should check around. |

Raven Phantom and be done with it. Get some offset wings and some C clips along with a good sturdy belt and no one will ever know you are carrying
I carry a 5" daily and never have been harmed by the beavertail. I will say I have been pinched very badly with kydex holsters that have a high sweat guard when reholstering. |

Works great for covering the beavertail and it's very comfortable. |

Have been carrying open and concealed for almost 3 years now and have never had holes in my clothes and have never had a gun dig into me. I'm also a lefty and carry at 9 o clock and 155 lbs. My carry guns have been a FN 5.7, RIA tac, M&P 40 FS, M&P 40C, XDm 45, 5.7 MK2, and my MC Operator. |

EDIT: I think CrossBreed is in a dry spell.. Ordered my holsters on 10-2-14 and they arrived on 10-11-14. |

Thanks for all of your input, much appreciated. I have looked into all of these and I think I'm going with either Crossbreed or Alien Gear(price can't be beat)

I'm getting my first 1911 soon and I'm wondering what the best options for iwb holsters are that cover the beaver tail as I don't want to be jabbed all day while carrying. My budget is around $100. Thies looks like they will cover it but I'm not sure. HBE Leatherworks com III |

Milt Sparks Versa Max 2 you won't be jabbed. I don't own one, but I want to. OR, I'd take their Summer Special as well. Check for a good used one if your budget tells you too. It's gonna get used anyway. BTW, with med hands, I've never really needed a BT, although one or two of my several 1911s have them. I ain't scared of hammer bite. Hell, if you carry cocked and locked, you hope your first shot is going to work anyway. THAT'S WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE 1911 .45s, .....RIGHT

So far I like my Alien holster. Just with I would have gotten loops instead of clips. My clips every now and then get caught on chairs, etc. But the price is hard to beat.

Heres another recommendation for the milt sparks vm2. Works well for me when i feel like carrying a 1911. Some have suggested kydex, and i'm sure those work great too. But there is something about a 1911 in a nice leather holster....

IWB - Crossbreed Supertuck
OWB - Raven Sparks holsters are ok, but non adjustable, expensive, long wait, and finished too slick. Makes pants slide off. |
