Hi all! New to the forum so please forgive me if I am asking a repeated question.
I am running a Sig Sauer 1911 Tac Ops with the TLR-1HL for a duty weapon at work (stock iron sights with no additions or modifications to the gun other than the light). I currently have the Safariland 6280 series holster and just don't really care for it. I was using the Blackhawk T-series with a Glock before I got my 1911 and fell in love with the holster, but Blackhawk does not (and is not planning to) make a T-series for a 1911. I have looked all over the place for a duty style holster for my gun/light combo but can't seem to find anything other than the Safariland.
There are thousands of options for concealment holsters but nothing I can find for duty. I would prefer to stick to a tried and true manufacturer but I am willing to give a lesser known manufacturer a try if you all have experience with it and recommend it. Ideally I would like to find a low ride level 2 with the option of spacing the holster away from my body (I have a 28" waist and the gun tends to hang up on my external carry vest on draw sometimes). I have no problem going to a different light, different ride height or different retention level if need be, or making any accommodations needed to find a holster that will work, other than going to a different gun!
Thanks for the help, it's greatly appreciated.
