What holster are you using?

Serpa

A Safariland 6384 for a 1911 w/light on a UBL mid-ride

Kramer Belt Scabbard in horsehide. Minimal material keeps it from being bulky. Horsehide makes it thin yet almost as stiff as kydex. I find it fast and concealable.

This. This setup with a strong 1.5” belt has been my daily carry for close to 20 years.

55BN is a favorite. Also like their Axiom which has the best weight distribution I've seen on a OWB. Carry mine at 4-5 O'Clock.. at 3 O'Clock seems it likes to hang up on stuff.

Raven Concealment or a savoy. Not sure why Raven stopped making the Phantom.

I've got a Raven Phantom and it does work very well. I've also got a JMCK OWB 2 for another gun and it's great, too. In this case, though, I'm looking for leather.

They quit making them once I settled on using them for all my owb rigs... figures. My 1911 rides in one right now. As a replacement, I've been looking at Vedder. Their Lightdraw OWB looks pretty similar in design, cant and they use the pancake wings which is why I went with Raven

Horseshoe Leather pancake. Also like the Mitch Rosen pancake. Colt Lwt. Commander.
The high ride styles don't work well for me .

Just make sure you never fall on that hip.
It will make a hell of a 'hip pointer' if you do.

At least it should not be as bad as carrying directly over your spine at 6 o'clock.

A Ross pancake style for the non-railed 1911 and a Blade Tech Eclipse for the tailed one at the moment. They work ok but there is room for improvement.

There is a worst case scenario for any carry location. It hasn't stopped people from doing it.

Not to forget there were NYPD detectives carrying DUAL snubnoses SOB in the day and they didn't ask permission from the Holster Nazis, then, either.
