How to choose the best holster for your Taurus 1911

First thing, don’t overthink it. A good holster for your Taurus 1911 should fit right, feel good, and stay where you put it. If you carry every day, small annoyances turn into big problems fast. So if it digs into your side or slips when you move, toss it and try something else. Leather’s got that worn-in comfort once it breaks in. Kydex gives you that solid click and consistent draw. Hybrids do a little of both. No material is "better", just go with what actually feels good to wear.

 

 

Best Taurus 1911 IWB Holster

IWB Holster w Steel Clip – $89. This leather holster can be carried both IWB and appendix style, offering flexibility in how you choose to carry your Taurus 1911. The steel clip design is perfect for those who dislike removing their belt when attaching or detaching the holster. It also features a reinforced thumb break strap, adding extra durability and increasing the holster’s natural retention, making it a highly secure option.

Best Taurus 1911 OWB Holster

Open Top Belt Holster – $89.  The Open Top Belt Holster is an excellent choice for those seeking easy access and a quick draw. Its pancake design provides a slim, low-profile fit, ensuring that your Taurus 1911 remains concealed even in an OWB carry position. This holster is not only practical but also extremely comfortable for daily wear.

Best Taurus 1911 Shoulder Holster

Shoulder Holster System – $215. For shoulder holster fans, the Shoulder Holster System is the best option for the Taurus 1911. This leather shoulder system allows you to carry your gun in a horizontal position, secured with a thumb break strap for added safety. The system includes a double ammo holder and tie-down straps that attach to your belt, offering excellent balance and security. As a bonus, the holster can also be used as a regular belt holster, giving you two carry options in one.

Carry Options for Taurus 1911 holsters

Concealed Carry

Concealing a Taurus 1911 isn’t impossible, but it takes the right setup. A good concealed carry holster for Taurus 1911 keeps things tight and low-key without making you miserable when you sit down or walk around. Think about how it prints under a t-shirt or how it shifts when you lean forward, those little things add up.

IWB Holsters

Inside-the-waistband holsters are the classic choice for staying discreet. A Taurus 1911 IWB holster needs to ride close and sit comfortably all day. Bonus points if you can adjust the cant and height, nobody gets it perfect out of the box. And if it has a soft lining or backer, your hip will thank you by hour four.

OWB Holsters

If you’re going OWB, you’re probably okay with a little more visibility, or you’re covering it with a jacket. A Taurus 1911 OWB holster should ride high and tight to avoid flopping around. Good retention is key, especially if you’re on the move. Easy on, easy off matters too if you’re switching setups.

Shoulder Holsters

Sometimes it’s just easier to get the gun off your waist. That’s where shoulder holsters shine. A Taurus 1911 shoulder holster spreads the weight and makes sitting or driving way more comfortable. They’re especially handy when jackets are in play. Just make sure the straps don’t slip or twist.

Paddle Holsters

Quick and easy, that’s the deal with paddles. A Taurus 1911 paddle holster lets you clip it on without messing with your belt. It’s a solid choice for range days or casual open carry. Just make sure it stays put when you move. If it wobbles or tilts, it’s not doing its job.
