Kimber holster

[raptor0443]

I'm going to the 1500 this weekend and I'm looking for a new holster for my kimber pro carry II. What do you guys suggest?

 

[halfmileharry]

How are you comfortable carrying? OWB, IWB, ??

 

[raptor0443]

Either way. Prob looking for something to clip to my waist band since I never wear a belt.

 

[halfmileharry]

I'm thinking even the Pro Carry ll will have you thinking about wearing a belt.
I wear a belt so I'm guessing now but I'm saying paddle holster. Raven makes an excellent Kydex I like real well

Ha.....you will wear a belt with that on........oh yeah.

 

[raptor0443]

Yeah it's not the lightest. Lol.

 

[raptor0443]

I'd prob say IWB help from keeping my pants up with it.

 

[churchmouse]

Yeah it's not the lightest. Lol.

I have to wear suspenders when I roll with a full size but I am an fat gut.....

 

[raptor0443]

LOL. Yeah I bet with a full-size those are really heavy.

 

[churchmouse]

LOL. Yeah I bet with a full-size those are really heavy.

Especially my stainless....

Raptor you will need a belt. Trust me buy a belt. Not a WalMart work belt but a gun belt. Galco, Belt Man, DalTach force Bull or bio belt.

holsters I like Comp-Tac, Milt Sparks or Mitch Rosen. Don Hume is functional budget leather. Galco should be OK.

 

[raptor0443]

Is the stainless even heavier?

 

[churchmouse]

Is the stainless even heavier?

Yes it is.

Hey raptor0443, You're not one of those guys that wears their pants waist down to the knees are you?
Without a belt, with a 1911, you will be.

 

[raptor0443]

Hell I wouldn't have thought it was any different.

Lmao. Not on purpose. Looks like I'll be getting a belt too then.

A GOOD belt is a must for carry. Do NOT cheap out. You want a high quality belt for easy and comfortable carrying

 

[raptor0443]

Will do!!!

Not wearing a belt with a 1911 is like driving a car with no wheels...Ur not going to get too far.

SharkTac at the 1500 is hands down the best holster maker there. Brandon the guy who runs the operation is awesome he will take really good care of you. They have pre made kydex ready to go or if you want they can custom mold a holster to your Kimber while you walk around the show. There is a reason every single one of my holsters comes from these guys. And as everyone is saying get a really good gun belt the 1911's are a heavy platform and a good thick belt and quality holster make all the difference. Now SharkTac is a little more expensive than some of the other holster makers there, but the cheaper people use a lower quality thermo plastic instead of real Kydex (the lower quality stuff becomes brittle and will wear the finish on your Kimber faster than leather or Kydex will) The Truth About Kydex Holsters - The Truth About Guns
