Back in the 80s they couldn't get a 1911 to properly run with blanks. The Star could be converted to reliably fire blanks. They use the Colt for close ups and the Star for shooting. They did the same thing in the movie the Untouchables.
The lighting for the "hey look at this" part was terrible. Despite 2 dedicated shots of the internals, AND holding the mouth of the holster open, the "clicky" part is just a blob of darkness.
Give the guy a break. The shirt looks fine. Great review of the holster. It's the only other realistic option besides my Serpa for my G43. How much pressure does it take to release the retention device? Will it hold the pistol securely if I get knocked on my ass or bounce around on my motorcycle? That's an absolute requirement.
Cool video, a year old but still relevant. I must say, I don’t like belt holster or “pancake” style holsters that don’t have a thumb strap for a “cocked & “locked” gun (Hi Power, 1911’s red…). I need that leather thumb strap the secures the gun between the cocked hammer and the slide. I find “1791 Gunleather” holsters rather superb in this market.
Stop saying "your grandfather's holster". Anyone with a brain knows most Kydex holsters feel like crap and give your pistol's finish a rash every time you use it. Start talking about the attributes of fine leather with modern updates. They're the best of both worlds. My Grandfather was a United States Deputy Marshal in the Arizona Territory days, my Dad was a State Cop for 37 years and they both would have liked this holster.
I was directed to this video by a DeSantis email offering a 20% discount on this holster. But the price quoted in the email, $88.99, is 11.25% higher than the $79.99 price shown in this video. Hmmm.
I only watched this video because he done whipped out that new SA-35 Hi-Power
Me too

In Magnum PI, Tom Magnum used a 1911 for the most part.
Dude. You don’t tuck in tropical shirts!
you do with a desantis. gotta rock the boomer fit
Dave, you’re only missing the Ferrari!😂
Thomas Magnum put his 1911 at his 6, with out a holster, in his short shorts 🩳.
What kind of leather gun belt do you use
It seems to be a version of the Lock Leather holster ?
TC would give you that look...
Only thing keeping me from purchasing this for the SA-35 is lack of leather side block of the safety.

exactly, he was to worried about telling us about his shirt.

Come on, man! You don't tuck in a Hawaiian shirt!
couldn't put my finger on it, but Yes that was it!!!
Nice holster
Will i need a bank loan for this holster?
Actually Thomas Magnum was a Naval Intelligence officer. Not a Nacy SEAL.
I like it
available in black?

How do you release the pistol?
I was wondering same thing. I tend to think it does not "lock". The click is the big selling feature.
Pull it out, lol

The future is kydex old man!
@@fatannerlenhart; Sure it is my Gen Z pudknocker. Now go put your cap pistol back in your plastic holster. Your Momma's callin'.
@@fatannerlenhart😮
I knew Thomas Magnum, and you’re no Thomas Magnum.
LETS GO BRANDON
Where's the 80's bleach blonde's in bikini's???

Dude if you don't live in Hawaii ,lose the shirt. Like the gun
What if you had lived there for almost a year many decades ago and still have relatives there? Does that count?

Ebay has them between $55 and $70.
When I think of leather holsters, I think of the missing blueing it took off one of my 1911s…

Nope. Thumb safety is not covered. Forget it.
lunatic !!
