IWB Holster Selection for 4” 1911 (Kimber CDP Pro II)

[1911ShooterTJ]

Hey everyone, thought you guys might be able to help me here...

I am looking for a quality IWB holster for my Kimber CDP Pro II (4”).

At the moment, I have a cheap IWB holster, which lets the gun ride too low onto my belt line (cheapo Uncle Mikes). Because of it riding so low, the thickness of it inside my belt is wider, due to the grips getting inside of there. It’s ok while walking around, but that extra thickness makes it a pain in the car or sitting down. Not to mention getting a good drip to draw is a pain with the grip so close to my pantline.

I have searched these forums and around the net, and I see a lot of suggestions for Milt Sparks VM IIs. Other than the wait time, it seems like a consistently good holster. I know I know, I’m impatient!

But before I spurge on a VMII, does anyone else have any suggestions for other quality IWB holsters to consider? I would like a body protector flap (not sure what they are called) for sweat protection. Also a FBI cant would be preferred for my body style. No thumb/retention straps please, although a reinforced mouth for one-handed draw is a plus. Anyone who has the VM II feel free to chime in too.

Thanks guys!

Have you tried calling some of the milt sparks delears (listed on ordering page).
Lightning arms sports has the vm-2 listed on there page.

Whether they actually have it stocked, don't know.
may be a long shot but certainly worth a call.

Sorry don't have any other suggestions.

P.S. I just got the same gun, ordered a milt sparks holster (october before it will be here).

This holster from Bianchi has worked well with my full size & commander length 1911s http://www.bianchi-intl.com/product/Prod.php?TxtModelID=100. Picked it up under $50 at Cabelas if I remember correctly.

I carry my CDP II Compact 4" in two different holsters depending on circumstances.

A KD Holsters Cochise Defender...



A Concealco IWB...



The Concealco is from their 'ready line' of holsters for common guns. Mine arrived three weeks after I ordered it. It's an excellent holster.

I have a Texas Heritage by Tucker Gunleather for my Pro Carry that I like. Surprisingly comfortable for IWB.

Fist makes a great IWB holster. I have 4 different model 1A holsters for 4 different guns. They can be ordered in leather, kydex, or as hybrids which are kydex interiors, melded to a leather exterior. All of mone are hybrids

I have an IWB by Kramer for my Tac Pro II. Works very well in my experience.

although a reinforced mouth for one-handed draw is a plus.

The reinforced mouth is for easy reholstering, if you can't draw your pistol from its holster with 1 hand, with or without reinforcement, its seriously broken

kramer makes a nice holster too, although i'm interested in the concealco's, have been for a while, it seems like the front loop placement would be beneficial in pulling the grip into your body.

I really like my Gary Brommeland Max Con V.

Oops! I meant one-handed reholstering. That would be pretty bad

I will have to investigate everyones suggestions.

Thanks again!
