Note:<\/strong>\u00a0We are not sponsored by any of the holster companies in this post. This is my genuine opinion as an average consumer who wasted money on cheap holsters from Amazon.<\/p>\n

Note**:<\/strong> Also my opinions on these holsters are primarily based on carrying a compact 1911. I don’t claim to be an expert on all holster types.<\/p>\n

Holsters from Amazon.com<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I want to cover four holsters that I purchased from Amazon over the months. Most of these holsters I did use for some time as an IWB CCW holster. The only one that I never used and have no intention of using for IWB is the DTOM Holster.<\/p>\n

  1. Azula Ultra Carry 1911 Holster<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Barsony Nylon IWB Holster<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Uncle Mikes Nylon Holster<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n
  4. DTOM Premium Leather Universal Holster<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    There’s no surprises here, if you want to carry a compact 1911 (or other .45 pistol) the Azula IWB holster is my top pick! I use it as my daily not only for my Kimber Ultra Carry II, but also for my other smaller caliber pistols as well. (Depending on what kind of clothing I’m wearing.)<\/p>\n

    4. DTOM Universal Holster – $20<\/h1>\n

    Let’s start with the first holster I purchased for CCW purposes, and also my least favorite!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Now, I understand that this holster was not designed for 1911 carry, and I was using this holster BEFORE I was using my Kimber 1911 anyways. The primary reason that I do not like it is due to how fat this holster is.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Yes the leather definitely is “premium” thick leather. I have no doubt that this holster could last a lifetime! That being said, even when wearing loose jeans, I still find this holster to be the least comfortable holster I’ve ever worn!<\/p>\n

    When we’re out camping in the wilderness, I have used this holster<\/strong><\/a> outside the waistband and it is a little more comfortable. So if you plan on getting this holster, I would use it only for OWB use.<\/p>\n

    Of course, there are plenty of 5 star reviews on this holster. So I guess this is what you get for having specific needs and purchasing a “Universal” holster. My advice, pass on this one.<\/p>\n

    3. Uncle Mikes IWB Holster – $12<\/h1>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    When I first got this holster for an amazingly low price of $12<\/strong><\/a>, I actually really liked this holster a lot! I still did not have much experience with conceal carry having only carried for a few weeks at this point, but there were some things I definitely appreciated about this holster.<\/p>\n
