I currently only own 1 pistol. A Colt Commander 1911. It's a pretty decent sized firearm.. With my current holster (hip draw, slightly angled), the firearm is too noticeable (IMO) when I turn my upper body in the right way.. the butt of the firearms is noticeable through my jacket. I am pretty sure it's because the holster is slightly angeled.. if I got one that wasn't angled at all, it probably wouldn't stick out nearly as much..
Either way, it's a big pistol.. and I am going to buy a Kimber Pro carry for my carry weapon (now that I have my permit). That purchase is at lesat 4 months away though. Until then I was thinking about just getting a easier concealable holster for my Colt. Here's where I need a question answered. I need to know the NAME/TYPE of holster I am talking about here.. it's cross draw, and it hangs underneath your weak side arm.. the 'movie holster'.. what the heck is that type of holster called (so the shop guys know what I am talking about)..
Now.. yes I know that isn't the safest way to carry.. I've heard all the lectures of cross draw vs hip draw.. but it's only short term until I get my Kimber.. until then I'd like to be able to at least carry my Colt and have it be concealable with the consideration of it's size.. I think that specific holster would be the best way to conceal the Colt..
