[Colt Hammerless]

Here's a few I've made recently.









This one is a convertible IWB/OWB that's tuckable. 30 degrees of forward rake on this one.







Showed a pic of one of these for a Commander in the Craftsmen sub-forum and got an order for this one for an Officer's length 1911:







A lefty with a patch of elephant. I made this thing simply because I had not yet been asked to build a left handed holster for a 1911. Figured it was time. Of course I got an order for one while building this one

Here's my ECO with its black elephant and red stingray holster made by BiancheriUSA.com. The matching belt isn't in the photo.

I also have a similar, larger one for my Heavyweight Monolith, sans the red stingray.

Yes, Colt Hammerless, you did indeed....for me. It is the preferred ride for my beloved EDC Dan Wesson ECO. Thank you for a great idea and wonderful execution of that idea. Paul is a true craftsman. Dennis

Dennis, that is a beautiful holster and neat extra mag idea. Question. ..... If you need to do mag change (I pray you never do), how much would that location slow you down vs a mag holster on your week side?

That is the exactly the correct question and it is way slower for me. I have worked with it and settled on a snap on mag holder that I carry weak side as primary back up. I had not considered mag changes prior to my first range trip where I discovered exactly what you immediately recognized, I am not Houdini. Not even Houdini's grandfather. I do like the idea of the extra back-up but I had not planned it that way. I am fairly convinced that at my age it is not a good sign that I learn something new everyday.

Yep, I knew that one was your's Dennis. I was hoping to get a response like you gave, as I rarely get pictures of the customer's gun in a holster I made. I love the grips on that piece!

And yes, it's certainly a slower mag change than a dedicated offside carry, especially with that body shield behind the mag. Not for everyone.
