Brennan, do a search on this forum for IWB and you should get a lot of information, pictures etc.

I've been using Andrews Custom Leather for years, but I steppted on my IWB 1911 Commander holster a few weeks ago and bent the spring. I've had a Galco horsehide IWB Commander holster laying around for years. I strapped it on and I love it. Great angle and very comfortable. Might just stick with what you already are using.

A Milt Sarks or G.WM. Davis "Summer Special" is the most comfortable concealed holster I have ever used.

I have been wearing one for more years than I can remember. I wear one every day when I carry concealed, which is every day I am not hunting. I wear one 100% of the time when I am awake at the house, as well.

If carried cocked and locked, you'll want an IWB holster that places a generous piece of leather between your torso and the cocked hammer and tang.
I believe that High Noon Holsters has such a model.

I use a Ross Leather holster (from Sportsmans Warehouse) for my 1911, but it might sit a bit low if you prefer a really hi-ride. (To me those feel like the gun is gonna fall out of my pants!)

I have a full size and an Ultra Compact. I've found for carry I want a hammer strap. I've had the safety get pushed off in carry too many times. Also, I figure with a 1911, if I'm going to carry I do it with a pancake outside and then dress to conceal. 1911 is damned big for IWB.

I've been carrying a Kimber Tactical Pro II in this holster for 13 months and love it. Can wear it while driving and it doesn't bother me; it's comfortable and it fits the handgun well.

Good luck.

I also have a Matt Del Fatti that's extremely comfortable.

I have used the Galco summer comfort IWB for Glock 23, fullsize Kimber, and compact Kimber for several years. I really like these holsters, and they can usually be found at considerable discount on Ebay.

TT Gunleather

It is similar to the Sparks VMII but with a shorter wait time.
