What does Craft Holsters suggest about Using a Remington 1911 Holster?
Craft Holsters suggests using a Remington 1911 R1 holster tailored to your specific needs and use-case scenarios. We recommend the following:
Remington 1911 R1 IWB Holsters: Ideal for concealed carry, these holsters offer excellent concealment and comfort. They are perfect for everyday carry due to their discreet profile and secure retention. Comparatively, IWB holsters are more suitable for those prioritizing concealability.
Remington 1911 R1 OWB Holsters: Best for open carry and range use, OWB holsters provide easy access and comfort. They are favored for their quick draw capabilities and are typically more comfortable for extended wear. OWB holsters are ideal for situations where concealment is not a priority.
Remington 1911 R1 Shoulder Holsters: Suitable for extended wear and balanced weight distribution, shoulder holsters are great for those who need to carry their firearm for long periods. They provide good accessibility but are less discreet compared to IWB holsters.
Remington 1911 R1 Ankle Holsters: Recommended for backup carry, ankle holsters are best for smaller firearms. Such as the Remington 1911 R1 3” or Remington 1911 R1 3.5”. They offer deep concealment but are less accessible than IWB and OWB options.
Craft Holsters emphasizes choosing a holster based on your carry method, comfort preferences, and the specific situations you anticipate encountering, ensuring your Remington 1911 R1 is both secure and accessible.
