(GunReports.com) — A poster on the Gun Tests Facebook page asked: “Does Gun Tests have prior articles regarding holsters for CCW carry of a full size 1911 style pistol? I think a number of your readers are willing to accept the bulk in exchange for the benefits of a carrying a full-size .45 (such as the ability to shoot it more accurately under stress.)” The Gun Tests page architecture doesn’t support a forum-like discussion, so we created this open thread for GunReporters to jump in and comment. Carry On!
On the Gun Tests Facebook page, Galen Gentry asked: Sirs, would you kindly refer me to any prior articles regarding holsters for CCW carry of a full size 1911 style pistol, or consider writing one in the future? I think a number of your readers are willing to accept the bulk in exchange for the benefits of a carrying a full size .45 (such as the ability to shoot it more accurately under stress.)

Here’s one Gun Tests story that partially answers the question: https://qa.gun-tests.com/issues/23_2/features/Multi-Use-Holsters5858-1.html
Matt Maddalena Galen Gentry, I agree. Though there are so many truly good holsters for a 1911 that it may take a whole issue! Gun Tests needs a forum for just this thing. There are many of us who have carried them for literally decades on a daily basis. There is a wealth of knowledge among “Our crowd” that we could be sharing.
