I'v purchased a full size and a ultra compact kimber 1911 in the past year. I have an outside the pants nice leather holster from glaco that is perfect when im wearing a long coat. However im looking for a inside the waist band holster to carry more concealed. Pref. High rise! anyone have any suggestions?

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

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.

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.
