  • Which firearm did you use with our holster? 1911 5inch

Just what I wanted - and expected from 1791

The holster didn't really need to be stretched, I liked it a bit snug so I only left the gun in the holster with the plastic bag for half a day. For a paddle holster, it holds the gun close to my body just the way I wanted. The quality of this holster is fantastic, great workmanship, these folks know what they're doing. I'll be looking at some other products, I'm eyeballing a mag carrier and EDC organizer. For a 1911, I like how they designed this from the thick leather to the piece that rides up to keep the hammer from rubbing against the body (then again, I may have a bit too much body...).

2nd Holster. Same quality

I have ordered two holsters for two different guns. Both fit as described and are of exceptional quality. I have contacted customer service to verify the fit in the past and found excellent customer service.

Nice Holster

Works great with all my 1911's. Only thing I would change is the paddle should be padded. (at least for my liking) other than that it;s a great holster!It retains the gun and holds the shape for no problem reholstering!
