Thanks much appreciated. Sent them an e mail inquiry.

 

Check out Barranti Leather and Simply Rugged - either should be able to take care of you, with a few weeks wait time for a custom order.

 

Wrights Leather Works is my go to for leather holsters. As I type, I have a 5th one enroute. IIRC, they have just what your looking for.

 

Falco Holsters has become a go-to for me when I want gunleather for models that most manufacturers do not accommodate. Especially if you want a light bearing holster.

The inside-the-waistband model VM-2 is a classic Milt Sparks Holsters original design concept and by far our most popular design.

Upperhand holsters owb kydex. I have a new operator 4.25 Aos really like this upperhand holster. Tons of choices on color or pattern. Super concealable owb and comfy.

 

while this is for a 5", I like my Warbird Leather

Paul left me a little optic to holster clearance should I opt for SRO or RMR HD in the future.

 

This CEBECI ARMS holster was purchased for my Bersa TPR9C but found that with a strap re-route that it also good for 1911's. I also fits my Tisas with the under rail. I'm an old revolver guy so I don't require my holsters to mimic the pistol that it's for.

 

Looks nice

I ordered a OWB holster.

 

1791 owb optic cut. Its a bit tight but the bag trick, then multiple bags opened it up. SA sells a paddle kydex for really cheap.

 

How do you intend to carry it?

what material do you prefer?

 

I just bought the same exact gun and am looking for a golster too, preferably leather. Any luck yet?

 

oops, forgot my holster is listed a few posts above.

 

Greyman solutions holster is very good - takes in rail and optic - fits like a glove. Just got one in today.

 

Hey fellas I hope my post doesn't go against decorum, since it's been a few months. This thread actually brought me back to the forum. I just added this 9mm Operator 4.25" to my group and was looking hard for a leather holster. I don't like kydex. I looked through each one of these suggestions but I finally found what may work from 1791 per pete177's suggestion. Holster should be arriving any minute. I'm literally watching out the window for the mailman like a kid at Christmas for Santa. Normally I'd make a holster when I can't find it but like a fool against every rule I have, I sold my leather stitching machine 6years back and I'm dead in the water to make gear. Hopefully this 1791 works out or I'm about to pay $3500 for a holster. Anyway, I'll report back soon as it gets here and I get it fit.

 

Privateer Leather.

I have several, including a railed 5 inch.

The difficulty with finding a leather holster for this specific gun is that it is a 4.25" railed 1911. Hardly anyone has that mold. I purchased the 5" fullsize railed holster optics ready BH1 model in black from 1791 so I can have something to carry this gun in. I have several other fullsize 1911s and Commander that sat in this holster just fine. It'll do for range work.

First observations is the holster is matte black, it's different. I see the benefit to a matte finish to not shine or draw the eye. The holster is firm, wet molded, stitching is nice, edges are burnished fine. I also appreciate the holster is wet molded curved to fit the body vs flat. It wears better.

Now if I can be critical about two things. First, the belt slot edges are not beveled. The sharp edges grab my belt and it is difficult to get the holster to slide into place. The way my holsters fit on me is that the belt goes in back belt slot first then through my pant belt loop then through the front belt slot. The unbeveled slot won't allow the rest of my belt to slide through easily. I'm gonna take care of that, add a bevel and burnish. The second item is there is that there is no sight channel molded on the holster. So on draw or reholster the front sight scrapes the inside of the holster. In fact after fitting the holster you can see on the outside of the holster where the front sight bulged out the leather. Perhaps that's by design given the fitting instructions on their site says to bulk up on the plastic bag around the front sight. I guess. But an easy solution is to tape a small wooden dowel onto the blue gun during wet mold, have it centered from front sight to rear sight. It creates enough of a channel for a smooth draw and reholster, without compromising retention. I may do this as well, we'll see how it goes as I continue breaking this holster in.

Wearing the holster for a few hours around the house it was comfortable. It wasn't intrusive or set the holster at any odd angle where I cracked my elbow on the hammer. Overall I'm happy with the holster.

 

Milt Sparks

 

 

Hooch who's the maker of the holster ?

 

I made it in my garage

 

Sparks, TT Gunleather for IWB OWB great leather. Garrett Holsters for IWB, I know he does some OWB as well. They are Leather Lined Kydex, Works well. I have picked up gently used Bitterroot Gunleather for Commander and Officer. Leather well made, Absolute Comfort. Nobody thinks much about these but they are fine holsters. 1791 Leather. You pick these up on Amazon. If you like it keep it or send it back. I have a bumb around the house OWB that works well.

Bitterroot for Counselor

Iron Man Look for Commander well, CCO...Wilson ULCCC.

TT Gun Leather Government They do railed..

Milt Sparks VM2 with Criterion snaps.for a SFX9L railed Optic Cut. Months seemed like years until it showed up. A long wait but great Quality.

Garret IWB.. Why Yes that is a TRS Comp in my pants.

TT Gunleather Scabbard Style SFX9 Railed, Will accommodate an Optic.

Another TT Gunleather

I have a Milt Sparks Summer Special and a Criterion can't find picks. If Kydex is your thing. Tenicor Velo4 all ralls optic accommodated some other models are light bearing. I'm testing a Tier 1 Concealed OWB now. It seems fine for a couple of mine.
Just throwing mud against the wall for ideas. If you want it now Kydex may be the Route. Decent Leather your gonna wait or pick up gently used. Out of the Pics above guess which ones are New purchases...

 

Just so we're clear, are all these suggestions specific to a railed Commander 4.25" length gun? Or are these suggestions aimed at "my favorite holster maker for my guns" suggestions? Cause the issue I'm finding is finding a maker that makes railed Commander length holsters, and with an optics version. That's the need - commander, railed and optics ready.
