Excellent presentation! I carry 5" 1911 as well. Appendix does not work for me as the muzzle digs into my nuts when driving; also, the seat belt interferes with my draw. I find cross-draw with standard heavy duty suspenders works well. It is not a perfect solution, but it works for me. I also like the fact that the butt does not print in cross-draw, since it is butt-forward. Glad you have found a system that allows you to carry such a large, heavy (and effective) pistol. I own several tupperware guns and will carry one when circumstances call for it, but the 1911 is my personal all day every day choice.
Haha finally a good video, definitely gonna do this for colder weather. I've carried my m9 for years. Definitely going to pull the trigger on the torsion holster for my full size 1911 after seeing this. 👍
You can conceal anything if you want to, if a person Carrie’s a gun as a novelty yes it’s bothersome. If you carry a gun as a necessity no mode of carry is a problem. I don’t care if if the pistol is 28oz or 40oz , I have the pistol for a reason
When caring and a big gun Beretta 1911 etc. the shoulder holster don’t have to worry about it digging into your stomach or legs or back when sitting especially when getting in and out of a car. Shoulder holster was made for this reason they make it very easy to conceal ,draw, and carry The weight is not a problem either as it is put on your shoulders the same as suspenders
I have a shoulder holster for my GP100 full size revolver in .357, its pretty hard to conceal even with a jacket/blazer. I suspect it would be similar with my full size 1911
@@lyleburlingame2276 yeah the L frames are pretty bulky. I had a GP100 myself once also. Too big for my hand at least with the big hogue rubber grip...... 80s Miami vice fan galco idiots talk me into horizontal carry instead of vertical also. I think vertical might help with concealment......
I have a Remington R1 govt. but wanted to get a Glock 19 for concealed carry. Given that Glocks are almost impossible to buy at the moment, you just swayed me towards giving the R1 a shot. Great tips thank you!
this helped me out a lot! i carry a full size 10mm 1911 with a full rail and its on the heavy side but i will be ordering this holster for sure thanks bud
Thanks for the video, I actually want to carry my full sized 1911, I have yet to ever buy a good holster, but I love videos like these. What you say might even not work for me, but sending out common sense ideas and thinking outa the box is always good. Another tool in the tool box
Suspenders are the answer. A good belt and suspenders make a huge difference. I can carry my glock 17 and 19 with just a belt all day long. But for my birthday I asked my dad for a pair of suspenders.... He laughed but the old generation was onto something. If I carry my 1911 I always wear suspenders, makes it so easy. Love the mustache. Looks bad ass. Damn you read my mind. I stopped the video too soon
Another suggestion, for anybody interested; use a belly band-style holster. Wear it low (just above pant line) and position the gun at appendix, like taco shows. That's how I carry everything, sub-compact to full-size. With bigger guns, you can tuck the muzzle inside your waistband and the belly band will keep it just high enough to prevent it from burying painfully into your body. I wear athletic shorts and joggers very often and nice suits every Sunday. This was the only way I found to give me the flexibility and comfort to carry in any attire.
I like how belly bands can fit multiple pistols but they don't give enough support. I tried a Brave Response belly band and the weight of my 1911 stretched out the elastic. And my spare mag would slip out. The gun would bounce around and chafe my skin if I try to run. I think belly bands are more for lighter/smaller polymer guns for deep concealment IMHO.
Due to a medical situation about 10 years ago waist/pocket carry of really anything much less any firearms was a hard NO-GO for a couple years. So I learned to shoulder and off body carry in my man purse. As with any other systems there are pros and cons to these options, I'm not saying that anyone should or shouldn't engage in these carry options just that they are there and with proper planning/training they are perfectly viable options. What's best for you is up to you. Personally I still retain the shoulder/bag carrying practices to this day even though it hasn't been medically required for 8 years and some change. After putting the training and habit building in to get the comfort and concealment levels that these alternative carry practices offer I've found it hard to go back to having a less than ideal compact pistol jammed up in my junk or hip all day every day.... when I could just not and have a full size option with optimum comfort, even if it is slightly slower than an appendix holster.
Thank you so much for the information about Duluth trading company. I went up and bought a pair today, and I am carrying my full-size government model 1911. No problem. Thank you so much.
I carry a p229, p365, and honing to spend the rest of 2023 carrying my new colt government if it passes my 1000 round test. Thanks for the info. I prefer the bigger guns as they are much easier to shoot well. I’ve found w a hood belt and appendix carry my back is alright. I do some weight training and I have fond keeping the lower back strong helps alot
Thats the way. Only thing is; i have to hide the suspenders, so nobody thinks im a skinhead and starts that drama. In fact, its better to hide the straps, than the strap.
I find it funny that the second safety rule of firearms is never point the muzzle at something your not willing to destroy! Yet we are infatuated with pointing the muzzle at our privates to carry appendix carry. I have taught in this country, and abroad, military, Law Enforcement, and private citizens and have never encountered a problem, but for me, I’m not comfortable with it. I carry my1911 in a Jackass shoulder rig, or a pancake from Wilson. Please be safe out there, and train like your very existence depends on it. It truly does. Good job on the video.
My Duluth suspenders arrived today. That was after trying some regular X-back ones I bought. As good as the X-backs feel, the Duluth ones feel even better. I’m gonna buy another one. Thanks for sharing them in your video.
I just wear a shoulder holster and draw from my left if I appendix carry it digs in my gut but as long as it works for you or others that’s what matters
I got the Kimber LW Full size with a Muzzle break 😅 A Ww2 Tankers Holster is a nice spot to keep em if you Cross Draw. Left side mount/ right hand draw
Great video!! Hoping to look into getting my CCW soon enough- I have my Beretta currently and it's been a wonder how I would comfortably be able to sit with it at the appendix carry position, seeing as how you've found an easier way to carry standing- have you had any problems with sitting?? Thanks for the tips and killer beard btw brotha! 🤙🏼 Stay safe
I get this question a lot so i’ll do video on that next chance i get. The setup i have now I can do a full squat and even ride a bicycle with no issues. I’m using my G19 more now but same idea
I hear you, I got all of my edc tools in my pockets plus the carry gun so the suspenders are so helpful. Some guys on my crew complain about carrying a wallet and ONE car key.🤷♂️
@@tacocat9472 lmfao!!! That's cute... I remember when I was a boy. They probably ask to borrow stuff from you 300 times a day too right? The struggle is real lol
Good ideas. Thank you! I too wear suspenders, by “Hold Up”, that do a great job and are not in the way for me to access my pocket carry. However, even tho the suspenders do a decent job of preventing the one side of my pants hanging much lower, the light weight pocket gun adds enough weight so that by evening my shoulders start to “complain” of the weight. Yes. I know and agree that that is a small price to pay for being armed.
Good video. I'm a lefty but I carry mine between 8 and 9 o clock in a Urban Carry inside waistband holster. I'm a little guy and yes I carry a full size 1911. In Wisconsin I can carry unconcealed or concealed. I loosen my belt a notch and balance the weight with my magazines and a leatherman Surge multi tool. In summer I use a oversized t-shirt, winter a larger sized sweat shirt. In summer if I have to I will take a size larger flannel with cut off sleeves and put that over my tee. Or roll won up yhat has sleeves ant and tie it around my waist to cover the gun. That is last resort because it makes for a bad draw. If I'm out of State I always look up the State laws and go from there. In my home town I could care less who sees or knows if I have a gun. Unless I'm where it's against the law I have mine with me 24-7. I'd rather have it and NEVER need it than need and not have. I'm always aware of my surroundings and if I go somewhere and feel yhe least bit uncomfortable I change my plans or wait until I can. REMEMBER THE ONLY TRUE WEAPON YOU HAVE IS YOUR BRAIN, EVERYTHING ELSE IS ANCELARY!! Be safe..
Great video! I've been carrying this way for over a decade. All my pants are two sizes too big. The training belt with a metal band is a must. I use the Y suspenders and carry at 3:00. The belly gets in the way for above the waistband carry, unless I'm doing Thunderwear with a suit for deep concealment. The suspenders make a huge difference in comfort. The only drawback...can't wear a white shirt.
What has been working for me lately is a second belt above the one holding up my pants. The weight is less bothersome than if the holster is on the belt in my pants. I use an Galco Fletch OWB, which rides a little higher anyway, and if find that an untucked shirt conceals the holster quite nicely.
I've carry owb for years, I use the leather suspenders from Duluth because I can thread my belt through the loops, no fuss no problems. Yes a govt. length 1911 45 acp.
I am just exploring the aiwb with my Kimber. I have been using the Perry suspenders you show, for years but I really like the look of those you are wearing. I find that the Perrys sometimes get too close to the gun grip. Thanks for the cool vid.
Believe it or not I have tried everything as well I only carry full-size 1911s and it’s been a struggle I own some expensive leather shoulder holsters and so on and so forth and I concur carrying in the waist is really tough. I appreciate. Yes video because most people will just say get a lighter gun but I have a lot of reasons why I prefer a full-size 1911 out of everything I have tried I have never tried the suspender idea I’m going to give it a shot thank you sir.
Glad to hear, hope this helps you, it did for me. 👍 My first carry gun was a P365 which I shot terribly with, worked up the food chain and ended with government 1911’s so I hear you.
Suspenders and two belts is it? Have you got suspenders & a belt for your ankle holster? How about your other ankle holster? Where do you carry your tomahawk, main fighting knife and back-up knife/knives?
I wear my 1911s @ the 3:30 - 4 position. Its really comfortable @ 4.30-5 position. But the grip prints real bad @ those positions and I use the desantis mad max iwb luv it.
You said you have back issues and yet your carrying your cuffs in the small of your back. Big no no! I know a lot of officers still carry gear between the 4 & 8 o’clock positions, but it you do it needs to be something soft like a soft sided latex glove pouch or similar. Carrying any hard objects in the SOB position is asking for back trouble in the short term, and instant injuries in a vehicle accident.
I’m not a LEO, just an average joe. So no cuffs, don’t even know if thats legal where i live. But yes, I carried my very first handgun in the SOB a long time ago because I didn’t know. Always learning!
Sitting down and driving is ok for me. I can put the seatbelt behind the grip so I can have free access. But a full size 1911 in AIWB doesn’t work for riding a bicycle. Your mileage may vary depending on body shape/size and your daily activity. Thanks for watching!
Regardless if i’m carrying a 1911 or a Shield, for me it helps if I loosen my belt before sitting down at a restaruant. I can do this on the spot and no one notices. Or you can just say you have to wash your hands and make your adjustments in the restroom.
@@tacocat9472 thanks for the response me and the family going to TGI Friday’s tomorrow so am going to see how it go I’ll let you no thanks bro much respect stay dangerous
Try Y back suspenders and carry strong side. OWB may be more comfortable. Or if carrying on the belt is out of the question then maybe a shoulder holster. I like shoulder holsters but I can’t use it for matches or classes. Hope this helps👍
Hope this helps! www.duluthtrading.com/mens-perry-side-clip-suspenders-60526.html?srccode=GPSHPLIA&srccode=GPSMART&ogmap=PLA%7CNB%7CGOOG%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C12601888052%7C120372109112&gclid=CjwKCAjw9NeXBhAMEiwAbaY4lneVBzWqgw0kJBsxYup4HYfXrB2KRYTK4Vd7i7M68mF1Dhp1czybZxoCgvQQAvD_BwE
I use a kydex paddle holster for my full size Beretta, but I don't do the whole IWB that a lot of people do and my state is an open carry state. Far as your suspenders go, if you're going to wear then and a jacket, then why not just wear a shoulder holster?
Nothing against shoulder rigs. For me, suspenders are a lot more bang for my buck and a iwb holster is much easier to take on/off when I have to wear a fall harness at work.
@@tacocat9472 Honestly for me I have nothing against any style of carry, but for me IWB is just so uncomfortable. Having my pistol of any size pressing up into my side and even worse when I'm driving, and no I will not carry with my pistol pointed down at my nuts like I'm noticing is the newest trend position to carry lol.
The gun is in front of the important stuff, not on top so the muzzle doesn’t smash down. Sometimes I loosen my belt a bit to accommodate that. Or Spencer Keepers of Keepers Concealment says he puts his full size Beretta 92 in the crease of the groin and thigh.
Yup, suspenders are fairly inexpensive and they help you carry more gun more comfortably. Probably why you don’t see them mentioned in the gun community because it’s not tacticool.
Came for the 1911 carry tips, stayed for the amazing Friendly Mutton Chops.

What about when it's hot? I got a full size 1911 and want to conceal since Colorado getting a little too blue for my tastes.

Carrying any hard objects in the SOB position is asking for back trouble in the short term, and instant injuries in a vehicle accident.
I’m not a LEO, just an average joe. So no cuffs, don’t even know if thats legal where i live. But yes, I carried my very first handgun in the SOB a long time ago because I didn’t know. Always learning!
Like both suspenders and belt. Where did you get the belt same place ? Good tips especially on the extra info on sus and belt. Good and thanks
thanks, its a 5.11 TDU riggers belt
Good informative video!
Thanks for the info bro.
Good info 👍
Could never trust a 1911 cocked hammer just holding my balls hostage 😂
I agree. I’ve been experimenting with other ways to carry now.
excellent!
Pretty cool video I like those are suspenders but I have a question what is it like when you're sitting down in the appendix carry is it comfortable
Sitting down and driving is ok for me. I can put the seatbelt behind the grip so I can have free access. But a full size 1911 in AIWB doesn’t work for riding a bicycle. Your mileage may vary depending on body shape/size and your daily activity. Thanks for watching!
How does it feel when you go to a restaurant and sit down and eat ? Am just curious cause I think I can do it your input is grateful thanks bro
Regardless if i’m carrying a 1911 or a Shield, for me it helps if I loosen my belt before sitting down at a restaruant. I can do this on the spot and no one notices. Or you can just say you have to wash your hands and make your adjustments in the restroom.
@@tacocat9472 thanks for the response me and the family going to TGI Friday’s tomorrow so am going to see how it go I’ll let you no thanks bro much respect stay dangerous
I like it but what about for us full figured guys?
Try Y back suspenders and carry strong side. OWB may be more comfortable. Or if carrying on the belt is out of the question then maybe a shoulder holster. I like shoulder holsters but I can’t use it for matches or classes. Hope this helps👍
Bro I been looking everywhere for those suspenders can you send me a link please the ones with the hook...thanks bro
Hope this helps!

VERY WELL DONE👍
Judt tried a basic set of suspenders but the DT ones look way better, thanks. Good vid. How do you drive with it in appendix man I can't.
great video
I just carry a Springfield 1911appendix carry under my t shirt like a maniac
No one is looking at your belt anyway with that sweet freakin mustache dude
I use a kydex paddle holster for my full size Beretta, but I don't do the whole IWB that a lot of people do and my state is an open carry state. Far as your suspenders go, if you're going to wear then and a jacket, then why not just wear a shoulder holster?
Nothing against shoulder rigs. For me, suspenders are a lot more bang for my buck and a iwb holster is much easier to take on/off when I have to wear a fall harness at work.
@@tacocat9472 Honestly for me I have nothing against any style of carry, but for me IWB is just so uncomfortable. Having my pistol of any size pressing up into my side and even worse when I'm driving, and no I will not carry with my pistol pointed down at my nuts like I'm noticing is the newest trend position to carry lol.
Great video Taco, tell me carrying a full size 1911 in that position, how do you manage when you sit down or have to drive?
The gun is in front of the important stuff, not on top so the muzzle doesn’t smash down. Sometimes I loosen my belt a bit to accommodate that. Or Spencer Keepers of Keepers Concealment says he puts his full size Beretta 92 in the crease of the groin and thigh.
@@tacocat9472 Interesting, thanks, will try.
Good idea
I do the very same thing....i wear them everyday i carry......
Thanks man, suspenders creative thingking
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Work N Gear carry the Y suspenders. 15 bucks last time I bought them
Yup, suspenders are fairly inexpensive and they help you carry more gun more comfortably. Probably why you don’t see them mentioned in the gun community because it’s not tacticool.
@@tacocat9472 I never really gave a rat's ass 🐀 what other people think. Lead never follow.
What if you are driving? I guess I have to take it out
Do you have one with a light?
Solution is a belly band
So what about getting in and out of the car/truck
Very smart!
you have some link for this suspenders? ( to buy or look for it )
