Carrying your Full size Valor
I have been contemplating buying another gun for USPSA, specifically the Production Division and as a carry option. I'm looking to shoot with what I carry. Looking at what is out there doesn't excite me at all. I'm not fond of Polymer pistols and DA/SA just isn't my thing.
So, this leaves me thinking of using my Valor for Single Stack division (a family member wants my last VBOB  ) instead of buying another pistol. Problem is, I have never carried a full-size Government model and don't know of anyone, personally, who does.Anybody here carry a full size 1911? If so, what holster do you use? IWB/OWB? Any problems? Any advice? Thanks.

I carry my full size Springfield MilSpec all the time. I prefer OWB. I use a holster that carries it high enough that a T-Shirt covers it no problem.

I carry a fullsize Wilson CQB every day. OWB holster is a Wilson Lo-Profile pancake that rides high. IWB is a Wilson Summer Companion. Belt is an A&G from Al here on the forum. Great belt.

I've carried a full size 1911 daily for years. Current holster is a Milt Sparks VM-II. I find inside-the-waistband works best for me, and a good belt that fits the holster loops makes a world of difference.

See the common denominator in this thread? Go look at A&G Custom Gunleather's website..reasonable prices, excellent quality, and Al is a forum member..and A Marine. What else could you ask for?

I carry this combo a lot:
 It is my custom Heritage in a Bulman IWB holster. Works great with a good gunbelt. Wimpy belts are a NO GO! I can feel the muzzle when sitting in the car but it is not bad. I just like the gun too much not to carry it! Mike

I carry my heritage and sometimes switch to my razorback daily. Carry in a Nick Matthews IWB holster. No issues here and love my carry rig.

Is carrying a Government model in a IWB more beneficial than a OWB? Or is it just personal preference?
