I've got an old Galco IWB King Tut holster that works, but it is bigger than the minimalist style holsters that I'm used to carrying my Glock or Berettas in.

Want something smaller, preferably leather as the kydex holster for my 1911 just doesn't seem right. Giving it some weird wear marks, though I am already considering having the gun cerakote after Christmas

I like the “Down Under” model from High Noon.

Take a look at Milt Sparks Nexus, I use one for my LW Officers Colt.
Pretty minimal dual loop holster, well made, fitted and comfortable...
order it and forget about it until it shows up, worth the wait.

Good as it gets for me.  Very comfortable, easy on/off and secure.

Sparks SS.

Milt Sparks Nexus or a TT Gunleather Mike's Special are my favorites.

Check our EE too. I picked up my SS there for 60.00.

IWB is very different for everyone and what works for me might not work for you.

This! Both excellent holsters. I also like the vm2 by sparks. They will put the magnetic snaps on it like the nexus.

I recommend something by Milt Sparks. I've had a versa max 2 that has barely aged in the 12+ years I've been using it. The holster really holds the 1911 tight to my 4 o'clock and does so very securely. The gun won't budge in a full on sprint. They are on the spendy side of things though.  Buy once...

Edit- the draw is buttery smooth.

Thanks for posting this. I use a vm2 for my g19.

Been thinking about a holster for my 1911.

I should know better than to look at anything besides the vm2.

It's like it's not even there.

Now, where to get one.

ETA, holy cow, amazon now carrys the vm2

For VM2s I usually hit Top Gun Supply; for Summer Specials, I usually hit Brownells

Ryan Grizzle makes a great leather holster, IWB or OWB.
