About 1911 1911 - 5"
The M1911 series of semi-auto belongs to the most successful small handguns design and biggest commercial success ever. The legendary design has been brought into the 21st century with slight adaptations to actual shooters’ demand. There is no other gun model contributed more to the American history than the M1911, what makes it one of the most collectible gun models in the history of the guns ever.
The 1911 5 Inch is a pistol originated in the late 1890s as the result of a search for a suitable self-loading (or semi-automatic) pistol to replace the variety of handguns then in service. The United States was adopting new firearms at a phenomenal rate; several new pistols and two all-new service rifles and the 1911 5-inch was one of them. The Full Size 1911 is a single-action, semi-automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated pistol chambered for the .45 ACP. The 1911 5 in is popular among the general public in the U.S. for practical and recreational purposes. The 1911 38, 1911 40, 1911 45 and 1911 9mm caliber pistol is commonly used for concealed carry thanks in part to a single-stack magazine, personal defense, target shooting, and competition. Numerous aftermarket accessories allow users to customize the pistol to their liking. There are a growing number of manufacturers of 1911 5 inch pistols and the model continues to be quite popular for its reliability, simplicity, and patriotic appeal.

What makes a great OWB 1911 1911 - 5" Holster?
A well made, custom 1911 1911 - 5" OWB holster will hold your firearm even if it doesn’t come with a safety strap. The glove-like fit and high natural retention are a result of your new 1911 1911 - 5" holster being molded on the exact replica of your pistol. Thanks to the way your new holster is made, your handgun will not fall out of the holster even if you decide to carry your rig upside down (although we advise you not to carry this way). However, if you want to get as much retention as possible, feel free to choose from our selection of 1911 1911 - 5" OWB holsters equipped with a thumb-break strap.
On the other hand, a perfect fit isn’t the only thing a great holster should deliver. A great 1911 1911 - 5" OWB holster should also come with smooth edges and meticulous stitching.
