Excellent suggestions by all. I'd give some thought to a shoulder holster. It's (for me) the most comfortable way to carry a full-size 1911. Agreed that it does have its drawbacks if you need to remove the pistol and holster quickly, and you can't conceal the pistol under a loose shirt.
Heck, get both types and use whichever fits the situation.

I reccomend Tandy Leather. They have about everything you need to make your own .
You are being watched.
I rather enjoy my Crossbreed Supertuck. I might add, I am 5'7" and 215lbs, so have a small bit of belly that comfortably rolls over the top and helps hide the gun over the waistband. I also bought the Tandy Leather "SemiAuto" slide style/pancake style holster. Being able to have it mold directly to my gun made for a very nice fit. I do wish it had a band to keep the top open when the gun is not in the holster, it does effect reholstering of the Tandy style. I have no problems with reholstering on the Crossbreed.
