An Official Journal Of The NRA | Counter-Intuitive Realities: Short-Barreled 1911s Are Harder to Conceal

Many realities in the shooting world seem counter-intuitive, like the fact that short-barreled 1911s are hard to conceal than their larger format predecessors.

I’d agree with that assesment, mostly...the type of IWB holster can make a big difference, though.

The best I found back when a carried a Colt New Agent a lot were the Galco Royal Guard and a Crossbreed Supertuck. Both carried the pistol relatively low in the waistband and minimized the “flop” that being too top heavy can bring.

I agree also. When I carried my Kimber tactical Ultra I used a Don Hume holster that was modified. I had my local shoe repair shop take the metal clip off of the holster and put two loops on in the clips place. I had him make it so the holster sat a little lower than how it was setup with the clip .
