I'm packin' all legal now, an' I ain't so happy about the way my gun fits in my holster.  Does anyone make a good concealeable holster for a 1911 with a 4" barrel?  I've been all through this innernet and it looks like most are either 5" or 3".  Any good holster elves out there?

milt sparks makes a good holster.

galco makes a decent holster, at a good price, and readily available so there's no wait...

Hunting is not a matter of life or death; it is much more important than that.

Concealable and a 4" 1911 are not exactly possible.  A shoulder holster that fits the handle completely inside the arm is about the only concealable place for a large pistol.  I had one but gave it away as while it was concealable it was so dam uncomfortable for me that I would not wear it a full day.

a friend worked as  an undercover guy on homicide;  he carried a 1911 4" in the small of his back (inside the pants).  He never complained, but was 6'3" and weighted 240#.  But his carry was 'not' real concealed enough.  He was an easy make from the back.  He thought my M39 S&W was a toy.  Different strokes for different folks.

Mule;

Another vote for Milt Sparks.  And they are located in Boise, if you're still in Idaho.  As far as non-concealment leather goes, another excellent company is the Idaho Leather Works, also in Boise.
