Show off your 1911

Added the EMP 3 to the collection. Training with it so it can be my EDC.

I don’t see a tie down. Does your gun come out of the holster quickly? I’ve always wanted to try a shoulder holster and vertical is how I’d do it (so as not to flag ever single person that might end up behind me for one reason or another).

No sir, no tie down. The draw is fast because of practice and many repetitions. It is a custom holster specifically made for my 1911, however, initially the vertical alignment took some getting used to.

The best shoulder holster I ever had was a Bianchi leather rig for my Ruger Speed Six snubbie which I carried for 20 years. It was a horizontal, with the gun butt facing to the front. I literally just had to slap the holster and the gun was in my hand.
 
When getting "dressed up" to go to a nice restaurant. Pretty rare anymore.

Back when I would get invited to a Texas style BBQ. Now just sits on a stand on the desk.

For daily around the house/property it's whatever I grab out of the safe. No particular one but it's generally a parkerized Mil-Spec, stainless Loaded or a CMD. Today it's the CMD.
 
@Gunz I like your 1911.

I have owned a number of shoulder holsters. When Miami Vice was running every cop I knew ran out and got one. I mostly used them on protection details when driving the limo, or when on a seated post for long periods. Those holsters had to be snapped down for duty by policy. I do have a vertical one for my S&W 629 that I carry when hunting. I loaned shoulder holsters to female officers who were pregnant and on desk duty while they couldn't were a gunbelt.

Ive tried a LOT of shoulder holsters. My GoTo is the Miami Classic. Its comfortable for long shifts even with heavy guns. I found it was a great design for Protection assignments. When I got assigned to the detail for LTG Pagonis (first Gulf), I called home and had Dad send me a Miami Classic for the M9. I could stand with my arms crossed looking like I was bored; but had my hand on the grip ready to draw...

Lately Ive been carrying my PPK in a Miami Classic. I hardly know its on.
