1791 Gunleather Thumb Break 1911 Holster, Fits 1911 with 4" and 5" Barrels

This 1791 Gunleather 1911 holster is exactly what I was looking for. The leather is high quality material, well-made, and feels very durable. My 1911 fits perfectly, and the thumb break adds a nice level of security without being bulky. It also looks amazing—classic, clean, and professional. Shipping was fast, and the product arrived in great condition. Highly recommend!

Bought for my Springfield 1911 mil-spec. Fits great and it’s high quality, real leather. I don’t usually write reviews but this was good enough for me to do that. Curves naturally with the hip and very tight retention without feeling sharp. Much better than the other holsters I’ve seen that claim to be real leather.

I was skeptical after reading the reviews. Folks were writing about scratched slides and safeties coming un done and thumb releases that cantvbe snapped closed. I haven't had any of those problems. The only downside to this hoster is that if you used it for concealed or less obvious carry it will print. The 1911 is a bigger pistol so it requires a pretty big holster. But that said you can pull it off. But it rides pretty high and is difficult to get it ready to shoot from under a T-shirt. The cross draw slot likewise makes the holster sit to high to be of much use except on a horse or tractor. It sure is pretty though. And holds the piece tight locked and loaded. I recommend it for folks who intend to open carry. If you are looking for concealment I'd advise against it in this rig.

Made of good quality leather, nice fit and comfortable. Very pleased with purchase. I strongly recommend this holster.

I purchased this gorgeous holster to use for both concealed and open carry of my 1911 commander size 45. The leather quality is amazing for the cost, the fit to my weapon (follow the recommended procedure for breaking in the holster) was perfect right out of the box. The only issue was with the retention strap. In the 'cocked and locked' position, the strap was difficult to snap together while unsnapping to draw the weapon was very good. The holster is still new so I am attempting to stretch the strap to see if that will help in securing the snap. Overall this is an amazing holster that is gorgeous, easy on my stainless commander, very comfortable to wear, and the two cant position work perfectly. The quality, especially for the cost, is an incredible deal! Highly recommend this holster! update: leaving the weapon in the holster with the retention strap snapped with the weapon in the de-cocked position has helped to stretch the strap making it easier to securely strap the weapon in place in the 'cocked and locked' position ( 72 hours and a very light application of some quality leather lotion has fixed the issue). And I have since purchased three more holsters and a belt for 1791. great products made with quality materials and excellent craftsmanship!

Good fit. The retention strap is set up so you can carry one in the chamber, hammer back but blocked by the strap. Stiff leather with good fit and finish. Muzzle end is open so you can use a 460 Rowland conversion with the compensator.

Exceptional holster. Very thick leather and shaped very well for the firearm. Only downside was it has taken awhile to break in the snap needed some oil and stretching to get it to work but well worth it.

Perfect holster for my 1911
