Nice :tu

A 1911 for $150, who isn't happy?

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

yeah it was a pretty easy decision, I took it to the range last night and put another 100 rounds through it and I absolutely love this gun, however some new sights might be in order though.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Finally decided and put a Kahr CM9 on layaway. I pay it off Friday when payday comes. Already ordered a holster for it

I need a Mare's leg bad!

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Picked myself up a Springfield Armory EMP 9mm last week. It sailed thru break-in with zero malfunctions from several kinds of ammo. After cleaning/oiling, it went right onto my hip in an IWB holster.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Well my holster shipped today for my CM9. Can't wait to get it. It's a custom kydex holster made by PJ at PJholster.com :tu

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Springfield makes good guns. I love 1911s but I think I'd only buy one in 45ACP or 38Super. That's just my personal preference

Mark. Check out Theis Holsters and PJHolser.com
Both of these are one man shops and they make them by hand. They are priced reasonably with relatively short wait times. They are priced pretty well too. I have a Theis holste for a 1911 and I have a PJ holster in route for my Kahr

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Also check out FIST holsters, I have one of the ultra thin kydex IWB holsters for my Kahr.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I got those and 10mm covered already emopunker. Come to think of it, the GSG-1911 in .22lr counts too.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Crossbreed Holsters are some of the best out there. They make great products. I use the Supertuck with my XD9MMSC and I love it forget my guns even there

I got my IWB for my 1911 from these guys:

Quality is top-notch. They even bought black painted snaps to match the color of the leather. That way it's less likely to stand out.

I bought the Summer Heat model, with a FBI cant, which goes for $60.

Springfield XD45 is also on the list for that model holster.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

Raven concealment is also a good one.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I second the crossbreed recommendation. Great holsters. I also have a milt sparks for the 1911 and it is a work of art, but the 7 month wait is cruel.

Re: First Firearm Thread.
 

I have to agree on the Cross Breed. Back home I used one every day for my full-sized XD in .45. I'm a pretty skinny guy and I was dubious about carrying something that large as my every-day weapon, but that holster really made it possible. I tried maybe four other holsters before settling on the Cross Breed. It took a little time for it to break in suitably for me, maybe a month, but it was well worth every penny once it shaped up.

By the way, I ended up using their "combat cut" shape, and that turned out to really facilitate quicker draws for me since "space" is at such a premium. The guys there at the factory also were very accommodating with answering questions for me before hand and some special shipping requests that I had.
