    Well, the only .45 I've got is a Springfield 1911 MilSpec, and I do have a Fobus Paddle Holster for it. I don't carry it often, though, and when I do it's either out in the woods or at the range, so it's good for me that way..

    I have just introduced another 1911-style pistol into my carry rotation. .......

    I carry one of the three.... Kimber Pro CDP (series 1)... Kimber Pro Carry SLE (series 1) .... Dan Wesson Bobtail Classic.

    I carry them all in condition one.

    Colt OACP IWB at about 4 o'clock unless I'm gonna be driving a lot then I carry it in a jackass shoulder holster. Easier for me to get to driving being a big guy. Keep a P-3AT in the console and put it in an ankle holster when I get where I'm going...... Kong

    It's gon enow, but my main carry .45 was a springfield loaded model. I carried it in a leather Glaco IWB. Two spare mags were carried in an old USGI Green canvas mag pouch with the flap cut off. The ALICE clips helod it very tight and I could easily put a Surefire in it instead of one mag. Great gun; wish I hadn't sold it.
