I think i know who you’re talking about…

You carry it?

You carry it?

Yes Sir!
I use a Blackhawk IWB Tuckable suede holster.
Remove the belt clip and it doubles as a pocket holster.
Suede is easy on the finish.

a 1911, 115 yrs old & still going strong.

If you mean an actual Old one , and not just the 1911 design .

My #2 shooting & hunting partner for a while carried a 1911 ( not A1 ) .

The only issue with that is not the vintage ones in decent origonal condition are valuable , and holster wear from daily wear is a $$ issue .

The oldest l have carried is S&W Breaktop .38S&W , that was 117 y.o. at the time .

Tight , accurate , point of aim . Ran 5 for 5 on 6 inch plate rack @ 17 yards .
