New DeSantis holster for 1911

**MicroMonkey** · February 28th, 2012, 07:13 PM

I got a new "cocked and locked" holster for my kimber 1911. The fit is very good and the retention is overkill. I have to break it in. I dont really know how I will like the thumb break until its properly broken in. I am carrying it on a galco leather gun belt.
I wanted a different holster, but I dont have the money right now for a beltman and a highnoon holster, but I will this summer.
The fit and finish on this are very nice so far.
There is no sight track in this holster, but it doesnt look like that will be a problem. I would take a picture, but i dont see the difference, it looks just like on desantis website.
It is open muzzle, the thumb break is very stiff and disengages really easy with your thumb.
Just thought I would post about it. I just wanted something until I get money to buy what I REALLY want, but until then......
If i posted in the wrong forum, please move it.

Just wanted to update this. After having this holster for only a few days or so, it has gotten very nicely broken in. Very comfortable, and the retention has gotten better. I dont have to yank on it to get the gun out. Great holster so far. And the thumb break is also nice. Very easy to draw from (still a bit tight, but getting better), and re-holster. It still has some break-in yet to go, but I would recommend it as an OC holster for a colt govt style 1911. The Thumb break after re-holstering almost falls back into place, and I can re-snap it with one hand usually pretty easily.
