Classic 1911 Leather GI Holsters from 1791: M1916 and an M3 Tanker

Wrapping the gun in plastic is to help fit the holster to the gun. Custom holster maker I sometimes buy from ships his holsters with a small sheet of plastic. He molds his holsters very tight. Instructions are to wrap the gun, force it into the holster and let it sit for a week or two before use. The plastic stretches the leather just a couple thousandths so that the gun fits tight enough to stay put, but will draw easily.

These holsters would be pretty cool if you have one of the 1911A1 copies, good setup

We had M3 type holsters in Germany & Vietnam. In training they were ok but far from ideal as it interfered with the commo setup on my upper chest. In Vietnam, for me, they were a pain in the @ss especially when using the range finder and Ma Deuce when those little people were trying to kill us. We didn't have a gunner for a month had to fire all of our weapons from the TC position and change cams & switches on the computer. Wore a head set instead of a helmet could see a lot better. Carried my 1911 in the old flap holster on my pistol belt.
