1911 holster pattern. 3.5 inch. Possible thumb break.

[badhatter1005]

Looking for a pattern for a 1911. No rail with a 3.5 in barrel. Outside the waistband preferably with a thumb break. I'm a big guy but I need something I can conceal. Something that will sit flat against the body. Any suggestions please.

Badhatter . . . this is one of the single most comfortable OWB I have ever made.

Your belt slips thru a slide before the holster . . . behind it . . . and then thru another one.

If you are interested . . . I can fix you up . . . just let me know.  

The one you see there . . . is an officer's model SA 1911 . . . with thumb break

May God bless,

Dwight

@Dwight I am intrigued by this design trying to figure out how the back looks for the belt to go through. Can you maybe share pictures or an explanation?

[badhatter1005]

@Dwight I would certainly appreciate it. I've tried out several patterns and none of them seem to work for me. However that one does look comfortable. I would be willing to give it a try. Thanks.

I swear, this is the best forum that I have ever been involved with.

Dwight, would you be so kind as to inform me on how to get a copy of your 1911 pattern?

 

Thank you in advance.

I'll get that later on . . . but there is a guy about a 100 miles from you . . . carries a SA XD with double stack .45ACP . . . on horseback . . . loves it.

I'd tell you to go see it there . . . but he is so far out in the sticks . . . they won't even deliver his mail . . . 

May God bless,

Here is another makers version of my slide cake . . . 

Mine is a bit different . . . but this gives you the general idea.

For all practicality . . . it is pancake . . . .and the ears are widened . . . and not glued together.

May God bless,

Very cool! I like it.

Very nice design, Dwight. Thank you for sharing this. I favor the avenger style of holsters but I will make a reference pattern & holster for my 1911 using this layout. Hmm, I could also do the “hidden slot” on an avenger.
