Does anyone that carries a full size 1911 have any problems with their holster being too tight to get the pistol in and out easily?

the full size 1911 fits nice and locks in the holster, there is a screw on the side of the holster you can tighten or losin the fit of the gun in the holster. The only problem I have is it marked up the finish on my slide.

As far as the weapon sticking in the holster, that is a non issue. Yes, when you place the weapon in the holster AT FIRST it is a tight fit. Merely leave the weapon in the holster for a few hours, over night even, and the leather will soften and mold to the weapon. After that occurs the weapon will still fit snug ,and thus no worries of it falling out, and still allow a quick and easy one handed draw. I have no problems drawing my weapon out with one hand. This is a good, well made holster.

I can stuff my wife's glock 19 in it and it zips up, though a tad snug. Would not want to pull it quick. My Sig P238 is a loose fit and should be tighter for a confident draw.

It will be tight and small..I had to use my springfield xdm compact 40s&w. 3.8 inch barrel. Because my 1911 or my 45 acp was too big...the holster is made of good quality but they made holster small..i had to break it in for about a week before it took shape and fitted well after. It's a great idea and I put a nice 320 lumen tactical flashlight (surefire) in the flashlight holder. It serves it's purpose but no way does it fit ALL handguns. I hope this helps. ..I like it and I would recommend

I'm not sure to be honest with you about this particular gun. I do know the Sig Sauer 1911 22auto sits pretty good in the holster. I haven't had any issues with it. I don't know if this answers your question enough to purchase the holster.

Glad to help--The top is magnetic, and a full-size 1911 would honestly be tough to pull out in an emergency; I recommend this purse more for a compact weapon.Best regards ~Chris

Yes, the shirt will handle a 1911. I have carried two fullsize glocks or two 1911s, although two 1911s are just heavy in general.

The holster is snug as it is outside the belt. Never had an issue with it. Sure, wearing it inside the belt would make it tighter, but could hinder the draw.

Yes absolutely. I have worn a blackhawk holster with my full frame 1911 with no issue.

Not at all. It is actually one of the best holsters i have ever owned. I have 1 for my pt140 and pt145. They're even better when broken in.

Since I do not have either the Pistol or the iPad I can't say for sure. I would think it would be tight for the 1911 and I would say no on the iPad.

I have a Springfield 1911-A1 and it fit like a glove. Very comfortable as well. No modification required. Shouldn't be a problem.

I don't do a lot of quick draw, but, when I have, I have't had any problem with the holster coming loose. As a matter of fact, if I do wish to remove the holster from my belt, it is easier to undo the belt and slide it off rather than to pull it loose over the belt.

Yes it will hold a full size 1911...bought this vest 1 year ago and love it...very durable...I do not have a problem with barrel being exposed...FYI

Well.........I am not trying to rain on your parade, but many old school 1911 lovers (myself included) carry full size 1911s. That's not to say there is not a market for the compact size, but many collectors and concealed carriers are toting around full-sized, mil-spec weapons. The Colt Commander, Kimber Pro Carry II, Sig Sauer, etc....are all superb products and easier to carry, but most diehards still prefer full-sized. More than likely overcompensating....

Yes, but the barrel of the firearm will protrude about an inch from the back side of the holster. I have carried 3", 4", 4.25" and 5" 1911s with it. For me it is most comfortable with the 4", least comfortable with the 5". However I now use it exclusively with my DW CCO (4.25").

No, the holster is a very tight fight to the gun. There is very little extra space.
