A 1911 is real easy to conceal in a Small Of Back holster. The SOB and IWB placed at 5 O'clock was better than my shoulder holster.
Why is it that shoulder holsters blow? I spent over $120 on one and I think it's not worth giving away.

I've got an Alessi horizontal shoulder rig that came with the Combat Commander that isn't too bad; especially with the 2 magazines for counter balance. Not saying I would want to wear it all day, but for a short mission it's acceptable. I put some children's craft sponge material under the two shoulder straps for comfort and grabbiness.
I also have an older JackAss shoulder rig for my model 37 Airweight that is very wearable.

I can see where they would have better use in colder weather where you could wear a coat or something over it. Kinda hard to hide down south here, where we switch from short sleeves in the summer to long sleeves in the winter. Not to much coat action going on down here.

What Would Paladin Do?
Yep, never carried to concealed. Big leather holster and duty belt. I think an SR1911 in a Bullard Bodyguard would conceal just fine. With a jacket, even better. Well... When I hit the lottery, oh, wait... You gotta buy tickets first....

One of the bennies of the cooler/cold Buffalo weather. A light weight parka will conceal everything and anything! The .45 round does so much better than the lesser counterparts when facing flannel shirts, hoodies and Carhart jackets layered together.

Got mine today, traded in a Ruger p345 for it, hope I don't have regrets. Haven't had a chance to do anything but read the manual and admire. I was suprised to trade for $162.00 difference.
Sorry for the delay! Shoots great for a 3.3" .45!!! I'm on the XDtalk forum and there are a lot of guys complaining about problems but I haven't seen any with mine. I have a 100 through it and it's awesome! Hoping to put another 100 through this week. Based on what I've read an priblems would likely have presented themselves by now. Here is one shot. I polished the barrel this weekend. Sweeeet.

These are dandy little 45's.. They're a little rough on the hand for 100 round range sessions, so I thought I'd give the Talon applique a try. It feels and looks pretty good, but I haven't had it to the range yet.. Ron

I think they'll be ok. They feel good.. I'm a big fan of tactical lights on house pistols and for $74 with 2-day shipping I couldn't resist. I would have gotten the laser model, but the reviews on the streamlight compact lasers are not very good. I really like the insight mounting system a lot better, but they're still using incandescent at 40 lumen. The streamlight TLR3 is LED and 90 lumens. It's not like having my fullsize streamlights, but it's suitable for the ting house pistol.. Ron
