I used to.
+1 for the custon kydex option. I don't know PJs, but I'm sure its good.
If you can find one local, thats even better. There's a guy that does it at my area gun show, does good work. Thing I like about the custom work when its local is that they'll mold it to your gun exact. so in the case of my 1911 which had an oversized safety lever, it still fit the holster like a glove.
I don't like the feel of all leather holsters very much... With all that said, if I did it again, for small of the back carry (only place a 1911 will fit for me), I would probably give an ADJUSTABLE leather/kydex hybrid try, with the idea that it would still have the better comfort of leather (my #1 complaint about kydex), but still have the super smooth and easy draw of the kydex. Something like the Tuck It.

In the end, I found it was more comfortable to carry a diamondback DB9 (6+1 9mm) on my side, in a kydex hoster.
