1911 5 in (Government size) holster questions

How many 1911 5 in (Government size) holsters are listed?

55 holsters from 15 brands, as of Nov 13, 2026, 5:17 AM CT, each with its store's current price.

How many are IWB and how many are OWB?

8 inside the waistband (IWB), 18 outside the waistband (OWB), 17 paddle, 4 shoulder, and 19 whose titles name no carry style. These are counts of the words in store titles, so a title that says "OWB Belt/Paddle" counts under both.

How is a holster matched to the 1911 5 in (Government size)?

Only by its store title naming the 1911 5 in (Government size). Nothing is inferred from a sibling model, a frame size or a maker's compatibility list, so read the title for the size, barrel length, light or optic before you buy.

Which brands list the most 1911 5 in (Government size) holsters?

DeSantis (10), Safariland (9), Galco (6), by the number of listings on this page.
